HIGH COUNTRY FISHING at Marvine Lake:

You'll enjoy the magnificent scenery on the two hour horseback ride. Our camp is complete with wall tent, cook stove, cooking and eating utensils, tables, chairs, cots, and lanterns. Enjoy long leisurely nature hike, explore mountain trails on horseback, read a good book or just relax in the shade of the fragrant pine and Aspen trees.

Choose from the following two options which are available June through September:

Full Service Camp - We will prepare meals and tend to the horses and the camp chores so all you have to do is relax and enjoy your vacation. You supply only your personal and fishing gear and sleeping bag.

Drop Camp - Includes fully equipped camp, pack in and pack out. For those who want to get away on their own. You supply your food, personal and fishing gear and sleeping bag and we'll pack you and your gear into our furnished camp and return to pick you up on a prearranged date.

TRAIL RIDES:

Horseback riding is the best way to experience the majestic Rocky Mountains. The spectacular White River National Forest and Flat Tops Wilderness areas are accessed by numerous trailheads making each trail ride unique. If you're quiet, you may have the opportunity to see wildlife, such as mule deer, elk, coyotes or maybe even a bear.

Fall trail rides are a favorite. The mountain air is crisp and cool and the Aspen trees provide stunning views with their brilliant shades of golden yellow, orange and red interlaced in the evergreens.

We will provide an experienced guide to accompany you as you explore the high mountain trails to provide personal attention, instruction, and knowledge of the area to ensure that you enjoy your back country adventure.

We operate our hunting camps under special use permits issued to us by the USDA Forest Service in the White River National Forest and the Flat Tops Wilderness Area in game management units 23, 24 and 33 during all hunting seasons, archery, muzzle loading and rifle.
