For months ahead of time,
I look forward with eager anticipation to my Aspen Meadow pack trip.
Once we hit the trail, I enter into another world. The terrain is some
of the most beautiful I’ve ever seen, the horses are amazingly
skilled, the fishing is great and the company is always entertaining.
I love being able to bring a few creature comforts into the wilderness,
a nice bottle of wine, a comfortable air mattress and a few other things
I could never carry on my back make the trip relaxing and so much more
enjoyable.

My uncle talked for years about the trout
in Huckleberry Lake, and I’ve always wanted to go there. At 72-years
of age, I finally got on one of those horses and rode 12 hours out to
the lake. I sure was sore, but it was worth it. The fish were the biggest
I’ve seen and with a little lime, butter and sweet red onions,
they cooked up real nice on the campfire. The trip back was a little
rough, but with my handy bottle of snake bite, I made it out just fine.

I’d never been on a horse before, so
I was a little nervous when we first mounted up. Our packer took some
time to show me how to tie the horse up when we stopped, how to mount
and how to maneuver. By midday on the way out, I was pretty comfortable
and by the end of the first day, I felt like a real cowboy. With all
that trail dust, I probably looked like one too!

I had never considered a pack trip, but I
was invited at the last minute and was able to go. I have to say that
it was the most relaxing and enjoyable four days I’ve had in a
very long time. We hiked around Buck lake, swam several times a day,
rode up to Emigrant Lake for lunch, cooked up wonderful meals and told
great stories at night under the stars. I can’t wait to take my
son on a pack trip!
