MLO specializes in small groups and custom trips but can handle large private parties.
We trailer horses from our base in the Gallatin Valley to the day's trailhead of choice. Normally our guests meet us at the trailhead. If you need transportation we can arrange a shuttle for you.
Please read the Booking Information page before calling for Reservations.
We rendezvous at the trailhead at nine in the morning and try to finish our ride by three or four in the afternoon.
You will need to bring a jacket, wide brimmed hat with a stampede string to keep it from blowing off in the wind, gloves, lunch, water bottle, sunglasses, and sun screen. Most folks also bring a camera.
We will provide saddle bags and a full length rain slicker. If you have good rain gear that you really like bring that as well.
We have hooded stirrups on our saddles so hiking boots are ok to wear.
Medicine Lake Outfitters is permitted to do rides on nearly three million acres of public land. Our costs differ with each trip depending on distance to the trailhead, party size and makeup, difficulty of terrain and shuttles. The cost of each ride will need to be quoted accordingly.
Fees are set on a sliding scale based on the number of participants. If you want us to add other individuals to the ride in an effort to reduce costs we are happy to do so providing you can offer us some flexibility on dates.
The following is a guideline on what you could expect trip fare to be if arrangements don't include shuttle or long distances to trailheads.
Two Riders - $250. each.
Three Riders - $200.
Four Riders - $175.
Five Riders or More - $150.
Medicine Lake Outfitters is permitted by the Gallatin National Forest to provide Day Rides in the Madison, Gallatin and Bridger Mountain Ranges. We also take rides to destinations in Yellowstone National Park. We have guided Trail Rides in Greater Yellowstone since 1974.
