Guided horseback trips & pack hikes
Head out on horseback or on foot for an overnight or a longer pack trip. Bring us a destination, your dates, and a little about your group. We work through the route, pace, and outfitting with you.
Start with the country you want to see
You may have a trail in mind, a stretch of mountain country you want to reach, or simply a few days to get outside. Bring us that starting point. We help turn it into a route with a workable distance, camp plan, and way of traveling.
Our headquarters is in Dripping Springs, Texas. Pack-trip planning can take us farther afield, with the destination shaped by your group, the season, and the access available. We confirm what can be arranged for the particular place before you commit.
Guided Pack Hikes
Travel on foot at a pace suited to the group. We plan daily distance, elevation, rest stops, camp gear, and how that gear will be carried for the route you choose.
Overnight & Multi-Day
An overnight gives your group time to settle into camp. A longer trip leaves room to travel farther or spend another day in one place. We match the number of nights to your available time and the route.
From an idea to a trail plan
Tell us your starting point
Send the destination or type of country, preferred dates, group size, and how you would like to travel.
Work through the route
We discuss access, season, daily distance, elevation, and potential camps with your group’s abilities in mind.
Settle the arrangements
Review the itinerary, equipment, meals, costs, and meeting details before deciding to go ahead.
Prepare for the trip
Use the packing guidance for your route. Ask questions early so we can address them before you leave.
Plan the details
- Dates and nights
- Share your preferred dates, flexibility, and how many nights you can be away. Season and daylight help determine the route.
- Riding or hiking
- Tell us about the group’s recent riding or hiking, comfort on uneven ground, and any needs that affect the pace. We use that information to discuss a suitable plan.
- Camp and equipment
- We agree on stock and tack when relevant, camp setup, how gear will be carried, meals, and personal equipment. The arrangements depend on the route.
- Price and logistics
- Before you commit, we confirm the proposed itinerary, price, payment terms, meeting location, and what each person needs to bring.
Packing & preparation
Start with these essentials. We will confirm the final list for your dates, terrain, and group.
- Layers suited to the forecast
- Rain protection
- Broken-in footwear suited to the route
- A water bottle and personal essentials
We confirm equipment, meals, travel, and other inclusions for your chosen trip before you book. This checklist is a starting point; your trip-specific list comes from us.
Questions
Do I need a destination picked out?
No. Tell us what kind of country interests you, when you can travel, and who is coming. We can help narrow the options before building a route.
Does everyone need to ride?
No. We can discuss a hike, a horseback trip, or a combination. The route and arrangements need to suit the whole group.
How far will we travel each day?
There is no single daily mileage for every trip. Terrain, elevation, weather, travel method, and the group’s abilities all shape the plan.
What is included in the price?
We confirm that with the proposed trip. Ask about guiding, stock and tack, camp equipment, meals, transport, and personal gear so each responsibility is clear before you commit.
Can children come on a pack trip?
Tell us their ages, outdoor background, and the trip you have in mind. We will discuss a route and pace suited to the family.
