Horse Camping | Wind Rivers Done Right
August 2021. Our annual horse camping trip brought us tothe Wind River Range of Wyoming. Three days of riding with two nights tucked away in our Haven Tents.
Multi-day horse-packing trips traditionally require a train of horses. Big panniers are carried by a dedicated mule or pack horse. We pass these trains on occasion. They are slow-moving, and unless they're all headed up for months in the backcountry we always wonder what they are packing.
Over the years we've dialed in our system to be light enough for packing on a single horse with its rider. We did bring an extra horse for a longer Yellowstone ride. Each horse took a turn at being the "free horse" which followed along without a load. As a bonus it was really fun to watch the horse run free and you could tell they were enjoying it too.
Carrying everything on one horse speeds up the rate of travel, makes packing and unpacking much quicker, and lowers our impact on wilderness areas we are traveling through.
Here are some of our horse camping favorites. Along with our Haven Tents of course!
This year all three of us had young horses which added another element to this ride over steep/rocky terrain. Here are some of the highlights!
If you'd like to recreate this trip, here's where you want to go. Just know we've been in some rugged terrain this had some big drops. You'll get a sense of that in the first few minutes of this video.
Starting at Green River Lakes, we followed the Highline Trail up to the Doubletop Mountain Trail. We made it a loop by taking the Palmer Lake Trail to the Porcupine Trail, then back to the Green River Lakes campground on the other side of the lake. Enjoy, and be sure to bring us along!
