2008 HORSE PACK WILDERNESS TRIP

FROM TRIPLE J MONTANA

Ranch house - first night sleep in basement bunks

 From mid June to late September, The JJJ offer 6 to 10 day highly organised horse pack trips into the Bob Marshall Wilderness, the “crown jewel” of the wilderness system.  Each trip is unique ranging from base-camp oriented to trips that traverse the wilderness.

Highly recommended well organised pack trips call for up to date rates and a chat : 01404 881777 e mail : sales@americanroundup.com

Guests arrive at the ranch in the late afternoon the day before the trip goes out, and after dinner, we will fit them to their horse and saddle.  The guest’s sleeping bag, pad and duffle will be mantied up that evening, so they will need to bring an overnight bag for whatever they need in the morning.  This can be left at the ranch while they are in the backcountry. 

Following an early breakfast,  saddle up and begin the adventure!  Depending on each trips’ itinerary, we will ride six to eighteen miles arriving at our campsite between 3 to 4 pm.  The wranglers will unload the pack mules, make a comfortable camp, and assist you in setting up guests’ tents.  Their camp cook sets up a kitchen under a protective kitchen-fly, and prepares delicious hearty meal to enjoy around the campfire. 

Each camp is picturesque, and allows the guest time to explore, fish, ride or relax depending on individual interest.  The area abounds in wildlife.  Some trips base out of one or two areas with scenic day rides or fishing.  Our travelling trips usually ride one day and layover the next day with 3-4 camps.

 At the conclusion of the pack-trip, we will ride back to the Ranch, arriving around 4 pm.  Dinner and the nights lodging are included, along with the next morning’s breakfast.
