We&#39;ll put you up in &#39;Gold Rush era&#39; tent cabins, after relaxing and getting acquainted with our free-ranging horses, you&#39;ll end the day with a gourmet dinner around the campfire and a sauna on the creek. The next day we&#39;ll gather the pack string and saddle horses and head out for an unforgettable three day ride. Crossing alpine passes and mountain streams, we&#39;ll end up at the headwaters of the White river.
