All our trips are customized, using a network of over 300 km. of trail that we have access to. We will try to match your interests, abilities, and time available to give you the best riding experience imaginable, but must also consider other factors like bear activity, river conditions and snow depth in the high passes, so we resist the temptation to publish a detailed schedule. After all, this is a back country-adventure you're embarking on, not a bus trip! Obviously, the amount of terrain and spectacular scenery you will experience depends largely on the length of trek you take. The 5 and 8 day trips afford more opportunity to get into the really high country, and we have found that after 2 or 3 days most people's riding and outdoor skills really begin to improve, and the team meshes together.
Level of Experience. Our pack-trips are designed for the more adventuresome riders, as they involve riding between 20-30 km (5-7 hours) per day in some very rugged country. You don't have to be an expert rider but being comfortable riding a trott and canter is the minimum experience we recommend. Please contact us and we will try to find a trip that suits your riding abilities.
Minimum and Maximum Group Size. We consider 6 to be optimal group size for our back-country trips, but occasionally handled groups as large as 10. When people book individually or in couples we will normally cut-off bookings at 6-7 participants, and make a distinct effort to ensure that the abilities and interests of participants on a given trip are compatible.
