Wilderness Adventure Trips

We offer authentic adventure trips for all who are looking to see what’s over the next horizon. These trips are for anyone who has a little “outside” in their inside. We strive to preserve the outdoor heritage of Montana by exposing and educating the public to the splendor and beauty of the wilderness. Immeasurable peace and harmony comes from putting the hustle and bustle of life aside and connecting with nature’s wisdom. These trips are designed to provide the space for families, friends, and individuals to reconnect, build new relationships, and make lasting memories. From floating the rivers, to riding horses in the mountains, to exploring the history of the wilderness, these trips are truly adventures of a lifetime. Mother nature has her arms open wide, awaiting your arrival. Don’t make her wait!
