These trips begin and end at the same trailhead

1. Sportsman Lake
    24-mile loop      Fishing / Wildlife / Scenery trip

Sportsman Lake camp is for people who seek a fly-fishing experience in a high-country lake setting. A wonderful 12-mile ride takes you to the northwest side of 11,000 ft. Electric Peak.

Wildlife is abundant around this camp including moose, wolves, and grizzly bears. This camp is very scenic, striking views can be seen in all directions, especially up.

2. Lamar River
    24-30 miles      Fishing / Wildlife trip

The Lamar River trip is for the serious fisherman. The beginning of your ride into camp brings you through an open area with a very high concentration of bison. This 12-15 mile ride meanders along the northern side of this canyon. As you get farther and farther up the trail you will see evidence of many more forms of wildlife such as elk, wolves, eagles, and bears. But lets keep focused, the fishing! You will now be in some of the best fishing in the park. Camp is set near the banks of the Lamar River from here you can fish right in camp or explore up river looking for new holes.

3. Soldiers Corral
    15-mile loop      Wildlife Photography / Riding trip

Soldiers Corral camp is a beautiful camp that is set in a big open basin. The Gardner River runs the length of this basin while 11,000-foot Electric Peak looms in the background. This camp is known for the wildlife that resides in this area. The horseback riding and photography potential is endless. The river provides the diehard fisherman with always that "one last cast". An unbelievable time to be in this special place is during the fall when the elk are in rut.

4. Bechler River hot pots
    20-mile loop      Relaxation trip

Dunanda Falls Hot Pots are the perfect place to kick back, soak and sip a little wine. This trip concentrates on pleasing your body. The opportunity for soaking in natural hot springs is a once in a lifetime experience. A beautiful 10-mile ride takes you to your base camp where you can settle in for your first hot pot soak. Accompanied by gourmet food and fine wine it's your own private spa in the wilds of Yellowstone National Park.

FOUR-DAY TRIPS:

1. Lamar River
    24-30 miles      Fishing / Riding trip

The Lamar River is a very healthy fishery located in the northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park. Average size fish range from 12-16 inches, along with that 18-20 inch fish lurking in the shadows. There are several different camps from which to choose. Fish a very short walk from camp or if you would like to explore the upper stretches of the Lamar we can always saddle up and head out for the day. Along with the atmosphere of a secluded camp, many different species of wildlife roam these canyon walls and small meadows. Wolves, grizzly bears, and the Rocky Mountain Elk are the most prevalent. Very few people ever reach the upper portions of the Lamar River. This creates a great environment for fishing as you literally have the river all to yourself. It is a wonderful opportunity to fish with your buddies or bring your children out for they're first fishing experience in the west. Either way the memories of this trip will last you forever.

2. Slough Creek
    18-miles      Fishing Trip

Some people wait a lifetime for the opportunity to fish Slough Creek. We are proud to be able to offer this trip for the fly fishing enthusiast. Slough Creek, located in the northeast corner of Yellowstone National Park is one of the most productive fisheries in the lower 48 states. Here the native Cutthroat Trout average about 16-18 inches in length, with a very good chance of landing that 20-inch fish. A short eight-mile ride in allows you more opportunity to fish on the first and last day of your trip. Spectacular scenery surrounds you as you test your skills against the big fish of Slough Creek. Your very comfortable base camp is set up in the upper portions of Slough Creek, which allows you to fish a seven-mile stretch of the famed waters. All fishing is within walking distance of your camp and gourmet meals await your return from a full day of fishing. This is an unforgettable chance to fish one of the most sought after areas in the United States.
