We'll meet you bright and early at the trailhead for the start of the expedition. Your horse and guides will be ready, and we'll load your camp goods into the trailer. The initial day involves a 16-kilometer ride to our base camp, gaining approximately 2000 feet in elevation while enjoying stunning mountain views. At camp, you'll be reunited with your luggage (maximum weight of 30 lbs) and settle into your tent.
Our base camp offers amenities such as a hot shower, outdoor plumbing, and tents mounted on platforms for added guest comfort. A hearty supper will be served around 6 pm, followed by relaxation around the campfire.

After a satisfying breakfast, prepare your horses or allow your wrangler to handle it for you. The day's adventure involves circumnavigating the camp, featuring flat riding perfect for exercising the horse in faster gaits. This ride includes mountain views, river crossings, single tracks, and a scenic ride along Birkenhead Lake.
Don't forget your swimsuit for a refreshing swim in the lake before returning to camp for supper. Most guests find themselves hitting the bunk for a restful sleep before it gets dark.

Following a morning feast, we'll either trailer or ride to the Li-lik-hel mine. Explore the original mine site and witness how old hard rock miners extracted gold ore by following veins in the rock.
Discover how the First Nations, miners, and loggers utilized the land while still enjoying its beauty. We return to base camp late in the afternoon for your final night, and many guests stay up late to witness the mesmerizing light show put on by the stars.

After breakfast and repacking the trailer, embark on a different set of trails to return to the trailhead. Enjoy breathtaking mountain views along the way, and take the opportunity to bid farewell to your horse and wrangler at the end of the day.
