Pack Trips
Picture yourself with an experienced guide, riding native mountain horses, following a pack string on the trail to a unique wilderness adventure. Camping near a crystal clear stream or an isolated mountain lake. Satisfying your appetite with great meals and an open fire. Afterwards, sit back and enjoy the peace and quiet under a starlit sky.
The trip is yours to plan. Perhaps a day ride to a pristine lake for photography or fishing for rainbow, cutthroat, or golden trout. Or perhaps a sightseeing excursion to observe deer, elk, an elusive eagle, and the vast variety of wildflowers native to our mountains.
Mount Zirkel Wilderness Area consists of 139,000 acres located in the heart of Routt National Forest, which consists of 1,100,000 acres.
