The hikers carry lunch in a light day pack and walk at a pace which allows them to enjoy the scenery along the trail. Trips are scheduled and confirmed well in advance by phone, mail, or email. They are usually done by horse with a load limit of 150 lbs of your gear per horse. All of our parties are walking parties. We no longer rent saddle horses.
Prices are subject to change.
Larger tents, comfortable beds, playpens for toddlers, solar showers, camp stoves, lanterns, family sized cooking pots and cold chests for a few fresh food items, all make camping with a family more comfortable. Because your gear is packed in and out of a base camp by a packer, you don't have the responsibility of managing and caring for the pack stock during your stay in the wilderness. A well located Base Camp allows a wide range of activities to suit the needs of all members of each party. For those who wish to stay close to camp, there is great fishing in the San Joaquin or a short hike to golden trout in Salley Keys and Sanger Creeks. Local trails through meadows and woods offer wildflowers and spectacular views.
