Adventure
with Far Mountain Pack Trips, Anahim Lake, British Columbia
For those guests who are interested in true Wilderness Adventure,
we also operate "Far Mountain Pack Trips" where we offer three
or four day overnight rides into the mountains that surround
Anahim Lake.
On these rides, our wrangler will guide you to comfortable
camps. As much of our riding takes place in Protected Areas
and Parks, we are sensitive to those values.
|
|
|
|
|
Our facilities, therefore, are tent camps, which must be taken
down at the end of summer and put back up each spring. At
these sites, we maintain a crew wall tent, a cooking shelter
and individual tents for our guests.
Our locations are chosen based on clean water, ample wood
supply and grazing for the horses.
|
After a hearty cowboy breakfast each morning, we mount up
for a day of riding to discover surrounding mountains.
Our packed lunches are enjoyed while taking a break beside
a mountain creek.
The horses are very reliable and suited for the trails and
terrain where they will be taking our guests and we do our
best to match the rider's ability to the horse they are given.
|
|
|
|
|
Back
at camp, we have a chance to clean up, get to know your horse
and prepare for a hearty dinner on a grill over a campfire.
On these trips, everything is supplied except for your sleeping
bag and personal belongings.
An extra sweater is recommended for those cooler mountain
evenings and runners are comfortable around camp after riding
all day.
|
Make
sure a pair of binoculars and a camera are part of your gear
which should be in a bag or soft pack not to exceed 40lbs.
Rain gear and riding boots are recommended.
All of our trips operate in the wilderness so wildlife you
may encounter includes caribou, moose and deer.
|
|
|
|
|
Expect
to see wide open vistas with mountains rearing up above rolling
alpine. You'll find many open spots carpeted with wildflowers
and clear, pure water rushing in little streams.
|
We
also offer horsetrekking trips for those that wish to hike,
but have horses pack up their gear. Please enquire about details.
Our
season runs from the middle of June until the end of September
and starts every second week, leaving on Saturday.
