Horse pack trips in Montana provide an unforgettable adventure into one of Montana's finest primitive wilderness areas. Montana pack trips are great for family vacations, nature photography enthusiasts, or anyone who just needs to get away from it all. Our location in southwest Montana offers some of the finest horseback riding in the Rocky Mountains in moderate, yet mountainous terrain spanning 20 square miles. Our Montana pack trips take you through two beautifully forested mountain ranges with vast open fields blanketed with wildflowers. During your Montana riding vacation you'll be breathing the mountain fresh air, viewing elk, deer, moose, antelope, and other wildlife in their natural habitat, and sleeping under the stars like you've never seen them before!

Best Season for Horse Pack Trips in Montana

The best times to see abundant wildlife during Montana riding vacations are June and late August. June features the calving season for elk, deer, and moose. Late August features the beginning of the elk bugling season. You will find the cooler day temperatures more comfortable during horse pack trips in Montana. There will be less insects to annoy you and the cooler night temperatures won't bother you while you're snug inside your sleeping bag.

Montana Pack Trip Packages

We offer several Montana pack trips for horseback riding in the Rocky Mountains. Our pack trips are fully guided and designed to accommodate all levels of riders. We can ride directly from our Montana mountain lodge or trailer a short distance for a wider variety of areas to ride. We have 16 horses and 8 mules available for riding in western saddles. You'll most likely ride a quarter horse, but we also have a couple Morgans and one big Draft Cross. Bring your sleeping bag as we will be camping out in new wall tents. We'll give you three square meals a day because you'll work up quite an apetite riding on horse pack trips in Montana!

To make your Montana riding vacation more enjoyable, we take the time to fit you to your horse, your tack, the area conditions, and the length of time you'll be in the saddle. We provide horseback riding instructions if you're new to riding or need a little assistance. We make sure you are acquainted and comfortable with your horse before starting out on your Montana pack trip.
