Tell Us the Dream

Before you ride

Who is riding, how confident they are, how many days, what you want to see. We come back with a route, a rhythm and a quote — nothing off the shelf.

02

Into the Wild

Your days

Up to two weeks crossing the high country at your pace — easy days and big days, hot springs, river valleys and alpine passes, camp set and carried for you.

03

Ride Out

Final day

Out to the Homestead with a fortnight of the backcountry behind you.

Packed by hand,
carried by horse.
