It’s the little things that can make a big difference.  Sleeping on our comfortable cots on summer roving trips, rather than pads on the ground, keeps you rested and energetic.  We are committed to providing you with a friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff.  We take extra precautions for your safety and enjoyment.  Maybe most important is making your wilderness trip accomplish what you want.  We truly appreciate your business and look forward to making new friends.

We focus on offering our guests an enriched adventure vacation by focusing on a quality western wilderness experience. Our horses and mules are well trained and we will match your riding experience to the appropriate riding animal.  Our excellent equipment is well maintained and specially selected for your comfort and safety.  We have specially designed it to be light in weight, which requires fewer pack animals, to protect the wilderness.   Our staff is exceptional, well educated, friendly, customer-oriented and experienced.   We want you to “come as strangers, and leave as friends”.

A MONTANA PBS DOCUMENTARY ABOUT SMOKE ELSER

 

Our friends and mentors (and previous owners of our business), Smoke Elser and his wife Thelma were recently featured in the 2011 Documentary of their life and 50 plus years as outfitters, the people they have taken into the Bob Marshall Wilderness and their love of the Wilderness.

 

In 2010, Smoke, Connie and Mack along with our friends Dan and Richard took a special trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness to learn the history, lore and explore “lost” sites.  The PBS crew went along to capture the splendors, the stories and much more about the wilderness.  This gives a firsthand perspective of how we conduct our trips and how it feels to spend time in the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
