PACK TRIPS & DROP CAMPS, BIGHORN MOUNTAINS, WY

Southfork Mountain Lodge and Outfitters can provide you and your family or group with fully-outfitted pack or drop trips into the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area of the Big Horn Mountains and Bighorn National Forest.

We have our own wilderness camp in the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area where you can relax in the clean, quiet mountain air and surroundings. Wildlife viewing is spectacular and the scenery is magnificent, so be sure to bring a camera!

Trout fishing is spectacular in the many mountain lakes and streams in the Big Horns. You can obtain fishing licenses as well as a wide variety of fishing tackle and supplies in local sporting goods stores around the area.

Our licensed, experienced guides and fine quality horses will take you on a horseback trip that you will long remember. Our wilderness camp is complete with tents for sleeping, cooking and dining. We serve hearty western mountain cuisine in our camp prepared and served by our own cook. Guests need only bring their sleeping bag, personal gear and fishing equipment.

If you wish to have your own camp, we are fully equipped to pack you, your equipment and your supplies into the Wilderness Area for you on the dates you select. We will be glad to assist you in planning your trip. Drop camps provide the outdoor enthusiast with access to the more remote areas of the region.
