M13266 is situated in the largest wilderness area in the lower 48 states. The Frank Church Wilderness is approximately 2.4 million acres. There is an endless amount of country and wildlife to see, streams to fish and mountains in which to hike or horseback ride. M13266 offers several activities daily; however participation is completely up to the individual. Two guided trail rides are offered most days with the exception of an all day lunch ride on Fridays. A full day guided hike is offered on Wednesdays to one of many beautiful destinations, including Mystery Lake, Owens Hotsprings, and Summit Ridge. Lake and Stream fishing is always a popular activity. Loon creek has been noted as one of the best fly-fishing streams in Idaho and we have had many return guests because of that. Please inquire about our fly-fishing / pack trips and fly-fishing / backpacking trips. Our standard pack trips are three to five days; however given enough notice we can make other arrangements. Some of our other activities include gold panning, horseshoe pits, volleyball, archery, target and skeet shooting, barbecues, campfires, swimming in our pool, or relaxing in our hot tub, wonderful wildlife viewing and scenic trips.
New - Health week (June 11-18, 2005); Fly Fishing Clinics & trips, information coming soon. M13266 was initially a supply store for area mining operations in the mid-1800s. As mining faded and interest grew in big game hunting and mountain stream fishing, the ranch developed into a guest ranch and hunting lodge. The ranch maintains its presence in a secluded valley at the confluence of three beautiful flowing streams. M13266 has been owned and operated by the Demorest family for over 50 years. John Demorest purchased M13266 in 1951 with a vision of the ranch becoming a guest ranch for many families to enjoy. M13266 has had a lot of work and love put into it over the years and it is our hope and dream to continue for many, many years to come.
