Planning Your Trip to the Flathead Valley
The Flathead Valley offers a diverse spectrum of wilderness adventures. Trail rides, pack trips, fishing trips, hiking trips, family gatherings and business seminars are all part of the Packhorse Creek portfolio.
For those that are just looking for a relaxing holiday with their family and or friends, our facilities are ideally suited for the occasion. We offer all-inclusive packages for groups of four to twelve people. Our chef and staff and will ensure that all your needs are filled.
For those who want a little more than just a relaxing holiday, we operate trail rides and hiking trips right from the base camp. The camp is very central to many horseback and hiking trails and in just a short time, guests are experiencing the beauty of the Flathead Valley.
For
the avid angler, the Flathead River is a five-minute walk from the main
lodge. The river is home to a good population of cutthroat trout, ideal for
the fly fisherman. In August and September, the river becomes the spawning
channel for a healthy run of bull trout. These fish are big and hardy and
are caught both with flies and lures. Depending on the water levels, we
offer float trips for anglers who like to cast from a boat. The angler can
also jump on the back of a horse and ride to one of the high alpine lakes in
the area, to try their luck with cutthroat trout. Although the cutthroat is
not as big as the river fish, the angler can enjoy playing in a very
pristine environment. And at the end of the day, there is nothing better
than savouring the flavour of the day’s catch over an open campfire!
For those who prefer to leave the luxury of the base camp behind, we
offer pack trips that will put you into the backcountry and leave you there.
From valley-bottom to mountain- tops, our string of mountain horses will
allow you to see what the Rocky Mountains truly have to offer.
Whatever the client wants, Packhorse Creek has the facilities, equipment and
staff available to fulfill your needs. We also try to offer a schedule that
is relatively flexible to accommodate varying departure dates.
The portfolio description and following schedule are only guidelines. When booking a wilderness adventure, just let us know what your group would like to do, the desired length of time and we will schedule a trip tailored to your specific group’s needs!
