Review of Swan Mountain Outfitters

The people at Swan Mountain were really wonderful....

The people at Swan Mountain were really wonderful. Making the reservation was really easy over the phone and it was helpful being able to ask questions about the trip before making a purchase. After purchase, we received an email with instructions on what to pack, how to prepare, what to expect and where to go. It was well organized and thorough. The only confusing part was knowing there are two locations for Swan Mountain, one with a base camp where all of the horses are kept and the other where the Alpacas go out from (Soup Creek Rd). Even though our instructions told us to meet at Soup Creek for our overnight/fishing/horseback riding trip, when we arrived the day prior to confirm that location, we were told it would be at the basecamp location. However, they worked hard to track us down (cell service is spotty out there) and correct the mistake to confirm the Soup Creek location. Day of our trip, our guide was well prepared and had everything ready. The trek up the Mountain to Bond Lake, trail #21, was wonderful. It took a few hours and we arrived to Bond Lake that afternoon with plenty of time to set up camp, go fishing and enjoy the scenery. We saw wolves on the opposite end of the lake, caught cutthroat trout (catch and release) and heard owls that night. We traveled with 2 horses and 4 mules between 3 people. It was an amazing adventure and one I will not forget!
