Day One

Meet at the Ranch at 2:00pm. We'll get your gear, get you signed in, and load the Pack Horse. In the meantime, you can relax at the Saloon or give Cattle Sorting a try!  Once we're set (roughly 1 hour prep time) we'll ride out to the beautiful Talon Chutes Waterfall. The rest of the ride is on some of our toughest terrain on our Rough N' Tough trails! Total ride time today is roughly 2.5 hours. Once at camp, you can enjoy the evening cooking over the fire, watching the sunset, fishing or  just relaxing. 

Meals: Dinner (Sample: Potatoes, veggies, beans & beef) 

Day Two

Day 2: This morning enjoy a coffee & hot breakfast cooked over the fire. You'll have a chance to relax while we load up the pack horse before riding out 2+ hours back to the Ranch.  We will have a break at the Talon Lake Lookout, or a Cabin on the water, before arriving back around noon. Be prepared for some steep terrain, creeks to cross and unbeatable scenery.

Meals: Breakfast (Sample: Bacon, Eggs, Toast & Coffee)
