Wyoming Pack Trips
Go Off the Beaten Path
…for horseback riding, fly fishing, and camping in the incredible Washakie and Bridger-Teton wilderness. Explore Yellowstone National Park, the North and South Fork of the Shoshone River, the Upper Wind River Range, and the Greybull River area in the Shoshone National Forest. Traverse the Buffalo Fork of the Snake River, Pacific Creek, Yellowstone, and Thorofare Rivers in the Bridger-Teton area. A guest favorite is the pack trip from Cody, WY, to Jackson, WY, or the other way around.
We offer trips of many varieties and abilities and provide primitive yet comfortable camps along the way. Whether you go on an adventure with Boulder Basin Outfitters for one day or ten, the beauty will take your breath away, and it will become a permanent highlight of your lifetime.
Stationary Trips
On stationary trips, we travel to a base camp area and remain there for the entire trip – from two to 10 days. We go on horseback rides, day hikes, fish, and explore from the camp. You still get to experience the great outdoors while relaxing in the wilderness – and having full dinners prepared every evening. These trips are recommended for families and corporate getaways.
Day Rides
Progressive Trips
Cody to Jackson – Most Popular Trip!
Travel through (and camp in) some of the most beautiful places on earth, the Waskakie and Bridger-Teton wilderness, during an eight-day trip from Cody to Jackson. We camp in four to five different locations along the way, allowing you to truly experience the amazing landscape and have the chance to see deer, elk, moose, bears, wolves, and more. We cross the Continental Divide and pass historic mountain cabins and the headstones of the Yellowstone River. The trip goes one way – from Cody to Jackson or vice versa and the trips are available in July or August.
Cody to Dubois
If there is somewhere you want to see on any of our trips, let us know! We can try to make a route to get you there.
Cody to Dubois Loop
Take the 10-day loop from Cody through four mountain passes into the Wind River Range and through the country the Shoshone Sheepeater Indians inhabited. We travel into valleys and cross three major rivers – providing a complete pack trip experience! We travel for six out of the 10 days, and trips are offered from mid-July through August.

Yellowstone National Park Trips
Get off the beaten path and deep into the heart of Yellowstone National Park’s wilderness! Boulder Basin Outfitters is proud to offer pack trips through one of the first and most fascinating national parks in the world. These pack trips have the same luxuries as our other trips – including tents to camp in, latrines, and meals. However, some additional planning is required because we must reserve campsites in the park in advance.
Beyond the extraordinary views, Yellowstone offers some of the best fishing opportunities for Cutthroat Trout. If there are specific areas in the park you would like to see, let us know, and we will try to customize the trip to get there. We can also plan to explore more remote and historic cabins in the region if interested.
Corporate & Group Retreats
Retreat-style trips are perfect for groups of friends, families, work colleagues, and men’s and women’s groups to get together and reconnect. The trips are typically set at one base camp, but we can customize the trip to your group’s preferences. Enjoy horseback riding, fishing, hiking, and making memories around the campfire in the backcountry of Wyoming.
Additional Options from Boulder Basin Outfitters
Horse-Supported Backpacking
If you want to go on the adventure but prefer to keep your feet on the ground, we offer horse-supported backpacking. We pack your gear on horses so you can focus on the hike! We even set up the camp and have meals ready for you to enjoy. We can travel as far or as little as you want. The trips are self-guided, so we will meet you at the prearranged location with camp waiting for you. The trips vary from two to 10 days in length. GPS is highly recommended. Please ask us about our resupply services for backpacking trips.
Drop Camps
We also offer drop camps in certain areas, including Yellowstone National Park, if you are looking for more of a DIY trip. Please contact us for more information.
Fly Fishing Summer Pack Trips
If you enjoy fly fishing, take a guided trip with Boulder Basin Outfitters to some of the most pristine backcountry waters in Northwest Wyoming. We fish in the streams and lakes for brown trout, brook trout, cutthroat trout, golden trout, and rainbow trout. Ride on horseback to beautiful blue-ribbon trout streams and lakes for the greatest fishing adventure of your life.
Beginners and advanced fishermen are welcome! If you are advanced, we can ensure you get to the water and set you free to fish. If you are new to fly fishing and need assistance, our guides will gladly show you the ropes. We highly recommend catch-and-release fishing – but not until after we take a picture!
