Our Nature Observation Trips combine a wilderness pack trip into Montana's stunning Bob Marshall Wilderness with a hands-on ecology workshop. A professional naturalist will teach you about the high country eco-system—the wildlife, the plants, the fish, the geology and the climate.
You'll also learn about the history of the area, including the Native Americans, explorers and mountain men who trekked across the wilderness. You can be certain you'll come away with a profound knowledge of this grand wilderness and what makes it so special. These trips are for people who like to combine outdoor adventure with an education.
Lewis and Clark set off to learn as much as they could about this land and the people they encountered as they explored the West; think of our Nature Observation Trips as your own personal “Corps of Discovery.”
Our base camp for the Nature Observation Trips is in the remote Danaher Valley, in the drainage of the famous South Fork of the Flathead River. From this camp along the headwaters of Danaher Creek, you'll spend your days exploring with the naturalist. You'll make day rides on our gentle saddle horses to nearby peaks, including Flint and Danaher mountains. You may see elk, deer, wolves, bears, coyotes and moose from the trail. Along streams and lakes, you may see beavers and otters making their homes in the clear, cold alpine waters.
Have you ever wondered how all of these wild animals thrive at high altitude and how the wilderness habitat supports them? An eco-trip is the way to find out. The naturalist will also show you how forest fires have affected the wilderness eco-system . . . how it can both destroy and restore habitat. Of course, you'll also have plenty of time to do some fishing.
In camp, you'll sleep in big, comfortable wall tents and enjoy hearty meals prepared by a professional backcountry cook. The Nature Observation Trips are also staffed by a guide and wrangler. At night, when you step away from the camp fire, you'll see more stars in the Montana sky than you have ever seen before.
