As on all of our rides the opportunity to view various species of wildlife may present itself and with any luck we may also see the magnificent Grizzly Bear! We return to camp for a great home cooked meal and evening of relaxation around the fire.

This is a circle trip approximately 5 hours of riding, in total 6-7 hours. Some walking is necessary. Ride can be shortened depending on ability of clientel.

We continue over the Condor Mountain at 8,500 ft. down into the Forbidden Creek area, a wild and remote place where the scenery is fabulous. The viewing of sheep, goats, bear, deer and elk are all possible. Mid way through this ride we will break for lunch and rest. This is also a circle ride which will return us back to camp where after a hearty meal we can exchange stories around the fire!!

Day 4 Today we will be heading to Lost Guide Lake…a pretty pristine lake at 9000 ft. The trail we take goes back over a hundred years and winds its way up a canyon crossing the Lost Guide Creek on numerous occasions.
This is a beautiful trip with high canyon walls on either side Lost Guide Falls can be seen prior to our arrival at the lake. At this height the terrain is covered in wildflowers and scrubs. Some of the trees although 3/400 years old are only 6 - 10ft high due to the harsh weather conditions. The weather can change in an instant at these heights and a warm jacket plus rain gear is a must. At the lake we will relax and enjoy our lunch prior to the ride back down to camp. An opportunity to fish the lake may arise subject to weather conditions and fishing regulations. Easy ride returning on the same trail.

From there we take a scarcely used pack trail over the top into Timber Creek. This trail follows a narrow gorge on it’s way down and is very steep, clients will have to walk about 1 mile until we reach the valley bottom of Timber Creek. There are all types of wildlife on the ride and the scenery is breathtaking. Once on the bottom we will break for lunch then complete the circle back to camp.
