Bob Marshall Wilderness Outfitter

Scenic Horse Pack Trips

We offer guided scenic horse pack trips into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Outfitted with gentle horses and experienced guides, our guests venture into the vast, untouched wilderness of the Bob Marshall Complex for one of the great adventures the West has to offer. At the end of a 28-mile trail ride into the wilderness, our base camp awaits at the edge of a beautiful mountain stream and is just a short walk away from the legendary fishing opportunities of the South Fork of the Flathead River.

Scenic Horse Pack Trip Itinerary

The first day of the trip you will arrive at the Holland Lake Trailhead or Meadow Creek Trailhead, depending on where we are starting off the trip. Once we meet you, we will introduce you to your horse and get your saddle adjusted to your individual needs. We will show you a few tips on how to ride and direct your horse and try to have everyone on the trail by 8:30am. The ride into Holbrook basecamp is 25 miles from Meadow Creek Trailhead and 28 miles from Holland Lake Trailhead.

Once at camp you can cool down with fresh mountain spring water, enjoy some appetizers, read a book in the shade of the camp hammock, toss some horseshoes or get settled into your wall tent and then freshen up for a home cooked dinner around our long family-style table in the cook tent.

Wake up to fresh coffee and homemade breakfast. Then pack a lunch for your outing later that day. Take the second day to relax and rejuvenate close to camp, where you can fish the South Fork or White River easily within walking distance from camp, swim in many of the deep holes, or stretch out after the long ride in. Horses can be made available for you if you wish to fish further from camp or do one of the many side trips to see the awesome sights of the Bob Marshall Wilderness.

The rest of the trip will be tailored to your interests and can include:

• A spectacular day ride to the largest lake in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Big Salmon Lake, where you can fish, cool off, or even swim with our horses in the lake
• An unforgettable ride up to view the Chinese Wall

• Day trip options to the top of various mountain peaks for spectacular views (Charlotte, Scar Face, Turtle Mountain, Rampart, etc.)
• A day float on small one-person rafts that we can pack up river to the Bartlett Creek area and you can float and fish your way back to Holbrook
• A day float from Holbrook down river to Big or Little Salmon creeks, where we would meet up with a horse and a pack animal to bring you back to camp

Back at camp we will serve you appetizers and a delicious dinner. After dinner you can sit around the campfire and listen to stories and play campfire games.

We have an early breakfast and pack up all of your gear and prepare for the ride back to the trailhead. We will be arriving at the trail head around mid-afternoon. We always love to see your pictures, so please send them to us so that we can share them on our sites.

Testimonials

When I was looking for a great trip and adventure for my 40th birthday, I knew that I wanted something special and unique. A Montana wilderness trip with my college buddies was something that I always dreamed about. 406 Wilderness Outfitters and the Cheff family created an awesome experience for my group in the Bob Marshall wilderness. The experience was a once in lifetime, some of the best views and landscapes that this country has to offer. 406 Wilderness Outfitters helped me check this off my bucket list.

What a fabulously memorable trip!!! My husband, two daughters ages 12 & 14 and I recently took a week long trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness with the assistance of 406 Wilderness Outfitters. As a family, we spend a fair share of time enjoying the outdoors of Montana. I can honestly say, this was the most memorable and seamless of all trips thanks to the unique and family- friendly service the Cheff’s provide.

Wilderness Pack Trips

taking reservations for 2022

Just imagine packing deep into the wilderness of colorado far away from modern civilization..

Settle into a comfortable camp then sit back and take in all Mother Nature has to offer. A breath of cool fresh mountain air, horses grazing in the lush green grass, a herd of elk on a distant ridge, a 14,000 foot peak close enough to touch, and the sound of a nearby waterfall settling in your ears. Sounds enjoyable, right? Now add a crackling fire, a hot cup of cowboy coffee, and marshmallows roasting. Starting to feel at home? That’s good. Now the best part. All of this, and all you have to do is just relax, and take in the magnificence of the Colorado Wilderness.

Durango colorado horseback outfitter and hunting guide.

SERVICE is what we’re here for. We are a family owned and operated outfitter dedicated to providing you with the best daily trail ride, pack trip or hunt you can have at any price. We are Randy Palmer, Kelly Palmer, and Terry Palmer. Our base of operation is the Palmer Quarter Horse Ranch on the Florida River, in Durango Colorado. The ranch has been in our family since 1952. Three generations of Palmers work together to keep our herd of over 100 horses thriving. We pride ourselves on having the finest horses anywhere. What this means to you is a horseback experience that is unequaled in both reliability and pleasure, and one that you will never forget.

Over the Hill Outfitters provides horseback outfitting services for the Florida River Basin in the Weminuche Wilderness Area of the San Juan National Forest near Durango, Colorado.

There are some who can live without wild things, and some who cannot.

You can see what man made from the seat of an automobile. But the best way to see what God made is from the back of a horse.

Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.

Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better

Before you book a hunt with us, please read our testimonials and see why we offer the best elk hunting in Colorado

ABOUT THE OUTFITTER

Welcome to beaver creek outfitters colorado wilderness horseback pack trips.

Having an interest in hunting since early childhood, Scott Gesell found the opportunity to become an outfitter in Colorado and has been offering guided elk hunts and mule deer hunts since 2004.

His enjoyment of horses and elk hunting came together and spending months in the mountains on horseback, packing and setting Colorado elk hunting camps as well as guiding allows him to immerse himself in doing what he loves.

What Our Client’s Say

I highly recommend Beaver Creek Outfitters, it is a first class experience. Chris put me on the biggest elk I have ever seen. Chris and his crew are all about ensuring a premium hunt, from the camp to the food, the conversation to the knowledge of the terrain. Beaver Creek Outfitters will help make a one of a kind hunting memory!

I would highly recommend Beaver Creek Outfitters for a hunting trip! All of the guys were great to deal with. My son Logan and I hunted with them 1st season rifle October 2020! What a great experience! From the first day riding in and seeing the beautiful area to the first afternoon when my son killed a 5×5 bull we had the best time of our lives! Not the fact that we killed something but just spending time in the wild and making new friends. It was absolutely the best experience we’ve ever had! Chris and the rest of the crew worked very hard to make it a trip that we will never forget! Anyone thinking of hunting with BCO will not be disppointed! Looking forward to a return trip hopefully in 2023!

Beaver creek outfitters is a first class outfitter. I had the best time. The owners and guides are top notch they are very helpful and informative. I will be back. Thanks for the great memories. I will see you guys soon.

Never been Elk Hunting we knew we needed to choose an outfitter that had been in the game for a while. When Beaver Creek was presented to us as one of the premier elk guides in CO we saw that we would be in great hands. We were not disappointed from the time we were picked up to the time we left we felt like family, and killing a 5×5 bull elk was just a bonus.

If you want game rich areas, no hunting pressure, knowledgeable guides and comfortable accommodations , Beaver Creek Outfitters is the place to go. I have hunted BCO with both the rifle (drop camp) and the bow (guided) and both experiences were great. Both times we encountered no hunting pressure and plenty of Elk. BCO’s team make the entire trip a great experience for everyone involved. On our guided hunt the food and the staff were second to none, on our drop camp the accommodations were very comfortable and everything was provided except for the food and personal belongings. It has taken me 5 different outfitters to finally find the one that “walks the talk”. I am looking forward to my 3rd trip With BCO this fall.

It is not often that a long awaited trip meets and exceeds all expectations. However, our time with Scott and his team during the 3rd season of 2017 did just that. Along with my two sons, we were looking to hunt hard, have an adventure, meet good people and enjoy spectacular country. That we filled 2 of 3 bull tags with quality elk was simply a great topper. Thank you very much for an experience we will never forget and hope to repeat.

We are a group of bow hunters that can’t run up and down the hills like we used to so we decided to give a drop camp a try. We did some research online and sent out some emails. We were very impressed with Beaver Creeks responses and went with them. They lived up to everything they said and we had a great experience with them. We will be back as points permit us.
