Pack Trips

Saddle Up for a Backcountry Experience You Won’t Forget

There’s nothing quite like riding deep into the mountains, setting up camp, and soaking in the kind of silence you can only find miles off the grid. Leigh Creek Outfitters offers 2–7 night guided pack trips through the stunning backcountry of the Caribou-Targhee National Forest and Jedediah Smith Wilderness. Whether you're looking for a quiet escape, a true Western experience, or time to reconnect with nature, our pack trips offer a one-of-a-kind way to explore the Tetons—off the beaten path, and on horseback.

Pack horses and two riders on a trail through a mountainous landscape with green grass and patches of snow under a blue sky with clouds.
