Derek and his team of genuine cowboys deliver something rare: an authentic wilderness experience that pulls you completely away from modern life. The multi-day pack trips through the Jedediah Wilderness earn particular praise, with guests raving about therapeutic time spent with well-trained horses, spectacular mountain scenery, and surprisingly excellent campfire meals. Derek stands out for his storytelling, local knowledge spanning five generations, and genuine care for riders of all abilities. He's especially patient with nervous children and accommodating with guests who have disabilities. The horses steal the show according to many reviewers, described as calm, majestic, and perfectly behaved even on challenging mountain terrain. Options range from one-hour introductory rides near Grand Targhee Resort to demanding multi-day expeditions covering 16+ miles. One significant negative review describes a complete miscommunication about a half-day ride, where the outfitter wasn't ready at the scheduled time and the facility didn't match website expectations. However, they immediately refunded the disappointed guests. For those seeking an immersive escape with genuine wranglers who know these mountains intimately, this appears to be a bucket-list worthy adventure that consistently exceeds expectations.
Had a great experience in the rain with the horse Lefty and guide Derek. Thank you for taking us on the rain.
