| Elkhorn Basin is a quiet, out of the way, seldom visited wildland with tremendous wildlife populations and gentle landforms that are perfect for horseback exploration. It is located to the northwest of Yellowstone Park in the lower elevations of the Madison Range. | ||||||||||

| Elkhorn Basin contains some of the richest wildlife habitat to be found anywhere in the Yellowstone ecosystem. Golden eagles, great gray owls and sandhill cranes are frequently spotted. Countless species of western songbirds can be found here. Moose, mule deer, and especially elk are abundant. | ||||||||||

| Elkhorn is a region rich in western history. Archeologists tell us Indian cultures occupied this area for over 9,000 years. Our guests often find tipi rings, obsidian arrowhead chippings and occasionally a fully intact point while out exploring on dayrides. Miles of grassy parks attracted early-day stockmen here as well. There are countless stories of cattle barons, colorful cowboys, horse-thieves and outlaws associated with the area. | ||||||||||

| We use a single base camp when visiting Elkhorn Basin. It is a fifteen-mile pack trip into camp. The trip emphasis is flexible. This is great horseback country...so day rides, which include wildlife watching and photography, are generally the central activity. | ||||||||||
