2008 Trip: Dearborn Trip Adventure
Rates include all meals, overnights, guides and equipment, 5 (6) riding days
Note: bring your own sleeping bag. It is best to overnight in Augusta the night before the ride (not included). It is about 28 miles from Augusta to the trailhead. For those that do not travel by car, we may be able to organize a shuttle.
DAY 1 Arrive at Benchmark just after daylight. The wranglers should just be finishing up with the saddling of the stock. After an introduction to safe horsemanship, you will be introduced to your horse for the trip. Riders are matched as closely as possible to their mounts according to individual skills and abilities. Our stock is good, gentle stock. You should be on the trail early in the morning, and riding into the Bob Marshall Wilderness Area.
Easy, 10-mile ride through beautiful, water-sculpted Devil's Glen and on up the Dearborn River.
LAYOVER DAYS Layover days here offer activities for a full range of riding or walking abilities as well as trout pools for the fisher folk. Short outings for children are possible here. The Grassy Hills offers a short ride within reach for all guests with a glorious view.
Further rides include an 8-mile ride up the main Whitetail trail to the Continental Divide at Whitetail Pass.
From here one can view Tabbacco Valley in the Lolo National Forest as well as Scapegoat Mountain and many others. The highlight of the trip is to ride up a hunting trail to Whinose Ridge looking into Carmichel Basin. Then finishing the climb to the Continental Divide at the head of Crow Creek. With Crow Peak high above us to the north. We turn south and go down Crow Creek to the mouth. We then turn east and ride back up to the divide again at the head of Blacktail Creek, later descend down Blacktail and back to the river. To conclude our loop we ride up the river to Whitetail Creek and back to camp. The loop is a long ride of approximately 18to 20 miles, but well worth it… we assure you!
DAY 5 The 10-mile ride takes us back along the Dearborn. This time, we may stop at mysterious Milky stream, take time to put on you Tevas, and walk upstream to find astonishing new waterfalls and cataracts around every corner.
We should be to Benchmark by mid-afternoon, and you can be to Augusta by 6:00 PM, checking into a motel with a hot tub to pamper your tired body after the trip (not included).
