Weekender Packages

Be a cowboy - or girl - for the weekend. Anchor D's Weekender horseback riding trip goes into our High Mountain Wilderness Camp, which is situated at 6,500' elevation and is completely surrounded by mountains. It takes between 3 and 4 hours to ride into this camp on a Friday afternoon. Camp consists of canvas outfitter's tents with cots and foamies, a bathroom tent, and a large kitchen and dining tent.

Anchor D supplies all meals, starting with supper on Friday night after arriving in camp, and ending with lunch on the last day. We supply everything for your horseback vacation except for your sleeping bag and personal gear. Your full weekend of riding through the mountains and enjoying the evening campfires will leave you exhilarated, and with a better understanding of the cowboy way of life.

First Day: Meet at Anchor D at 1 p.m. We will truck the horses and gear to the trailhead, where we will load the wagon, give a basic horsemanship course, mount our horses and set off on the trail to Camp, which will take 3 to 4 hours.

Day 2: Breakfast is served at 8:30 a.m. We leave camp at 10 a.m. and head out for one of several destinations that are available. We may ride to a mountain lake full of cut-throat trout (bring your fishing rod and licence); a high pass that will let you gaze across several mountain ranges to the Continental Divide; you'll see miles of mountains, valleys, rivers and meadows.

Last Day: Breakfast is at 8:30 a.m. The horses are ready and the wagons are packed by 10:30 a.m., ready to head to the trailhead. The wagons go on ahead, while the riders go on a side trip, to have lunch on a high pass or up a scenic canyon, and then head out for the trailhead. Arrival time at the trailhead is between 4 and 5 p.m. (that's Cowboy Time!).

Weekends available from June 6 to September 12, 2008.

Price: $479.00 + GST per person
