Horseback Pack Trips into Yellowstone National Park
Picture yourself greeting the sunrise with the scent of fresh pine and the gentle rustle of horses nearby. At Skyline Guest Ranch, our backcountry pack trips are more than just a journey—they’re an invitation to explore the untouched beauty of Yellowstone National Park and the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness. Whether you’re new to horseback riding or camping, we specialize in guiding you through breathtaking landscapes that few get to experience. From evenings spent around a glowing campfire to trails that lead to hidden mountain vistas, every moment is designed to immerse you in the wild charm of the Rockies.

 

Every camp we set up is tailored to your group’s unique sense of adventure. Whether you’re eager to cast a line for native cutthroat trout, capture wildlife through your lens, or simply unwind with a good book beneath the open sky, we’ve got you covered. We provide all the essentials: roomy tents, gentle mountain horses, experienced Yellowstone guides, and hearty Dutch-oven meals (yes, we’ll even handle the clean-up!). Private group trips start at $650 per person, per day, with a minimum of four people—but if your group is smaller, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re here to help craft the perfect experience, tailored to your desired destination, trip length, and group dynamics.

At Skyline Guest Ranch, we’re committed to preserving the natural beauty of Yellowstone National Park through responsible, Leave No Trace camping. With access to over 1,200 miles of trails, 104 stock-friendly campsites, and 97 trailheads, there’s no limit to the adventures awaiting you. Saddle up, leave the pavement behind, and explore Yellowstone's wild, rugged, and breathtaking wilderness, making unforgettable memories along the way.

SADDLE UP, LEAVE THE PAVEMENT BEHIND, AND EXPLORE YELLOWSTONE'S WILD, RUGGED, AND BREATHTAKING WILDERNESS

We had the most amazing Yellowstone horse and pack mule camping trip. We spent 4 days/3 nights riding horses, fly fishing, seeing wildlife and camping in some beautiful country. Luke and his boys Lucas and Colter were the most amazing hosts and guides and made the trip so memorable and enjoyable. My wife and two young daughters all had an amazing time and the food was fantastic! We saw just about every wild animal Yellowstone had to offer and rode horseback through challenging and beautiful scenery. We hope to be back again soon!
