Custom Pack & Saddle Trips

Let our mules carry your equipment and supplies for you.  Typically based out of one of our three stables, we offer a wide range of services, ranging from delivering your items to a High Sierra Camp in advance, to extended multi-day journeys.  Call ahead to arrange your adventure (209) 372-8348.  Reservations absolutely required.

Rates:
$270/day for the guide/packer
$129/day for the animal (minimum of 3 animals per trip).
$5/pound for items delivered to a High Sierra Camp with the regular supply train.

Logistics and Requirements:

•  Plan to have someone from your party ready to meet the mules at your destination.  We can not leave your things in an empty campsite.
•  Bring your items to the appropriate stable the day before your departure so that we can have everything packed and ready to go in the morning.
•  If you are planning an extended trip, you will be responsible for your own food, cooking and cleaning responsibilities.
•  Don’t forget your wilderness permit.
•  Remember that weight limits do apply.  Pack animals are able to carry up to 150 lbs. per animal, and riding stock up to 225 lbs.  No exceptions.
•  If your trip begins or ends at a trailhead not serviced by one of our stables there will be an additional $185 charge for transportation of the stock to and from the trailhead.
• Children must be at least 10 years old and have riding experience to participate in overnight saddle trips.
