Wilderness Pack Trips
- with pack horse support -
Experience the most beautiful wilderness and back country sites like Yellowstone, Banff, Tsylos, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the Rocky Mountains or the glaciers and deserts of Chile, on a wilderness pack trip. On a pack horseback riding trip your supplies and luggage are transported by pack horse, not vehicle. Wilderness pack trips are often slower than vehicle-supported trips, but you have the opportunity to get completely off the beaten track, on a wilderness trip away from civilization.
The wranglers on our selected wilderness pack trip rides will take you into some of the most breathtaking back-country away from the tourists and share their local knowledge with you, making it a marvelous experience. Overnights are usually in tents. Equipment is transported by pack horses - riding pace is usually slower, but you will see some of the most pristine wilderness areas on earth.
