SAWTOOTH MOUNTAINS HORSE PACK TRIP INTO THE ROSS FORK LAKES

Join Dan Mink, The Rhinestone Roper, and veteran Wild West Performer and his friend, Mike Ewing, The Cowboy Balladeer, in this four part video series. In Part 1, Dan and Mike pack the horses into the Sawtooth Mountains and ride from the Bear Creek Station, up the Bear Creek Trail, over the divide and into the Willow Creek drainage. From there they ride up the Willow Creek Trail, over the divide and into The South Fork of the Ross Fork Creek. They pass Ross Fork Lake No. 5 and spend their first night at Lake No. 4. The video shows what the trail is like and what it's like to be High Country Horsemen.

Very nice video. Beautiful scenery, good music and very good horses. I trail ride my horse with a halter also. Not all horses can be ridden like that but, if they can then they should be.

[@rhinestoneropers9204]

Thank you very much! Good job to you and your horse.

[@rhinestoneropers9204]

It's good to have a reliable companion up there.

Hard to Find a place for Horses in BOI anymore 😢😢

[@frankhite9849]

@@donaldwinn3303 you could have had great opportunities to buy a horse property during the great recession. i lived on elpaso rd and gave my house away on 7 acres for 140k becasue i could not even make $10 an hr with benifits as a machinist. 1 person looked at in 6 years and bought it over the computer from alaska . most of my neighbors were forclosed on and the banks auctioned of those horse properties for as little as $28,000.00 most were no more than 5 years old at the time.

[@anthonycarrano7875]

Do you guide pack trips, if so is there a link to where i can book one?

[@rhinestoneropers9204]

Hi Carrano, No I'm not a licensed guide. As you can see, I do enjoy taking friends with me when the circumstances are right.

[@thadtroedson4827]

Sorry typo. Where did you get that straw hat Dan

[@rhinestoneropers9204]

Bull Hide Hats

[@thadtroedson4827]

where didyou get that had Dan

[@rhinestoneropers9204]

Hi Thad, I got the hat on a fairgrounds but I see that Bull Hide hats makes them. It is palm leaf and has lasted many years.

[@landonenochs1415]

I am having trouble getting the exact route and/or or trails that you took. I have been using Alltrails but not having good luck finding the trails. A friend and I want to take the same Route and camp at the same spots. Any help or advice??

[@rhinestoneropers9204]

Sure. Are you riding or walking? The main thing is the starting point. I will review the first two videos and tell you what to look for. It's a great trip.

[@landonenochs1415]

We are riding and hopefully taking my two mules. Still in training.

[@landonenochs1415]

When is the best time of the year to ride and camp?

[@shannonmccabe7524]

Would have enjoyed this if they had of left the music out. Way to distracting. Like the sounds of the wilderness and talk about the trip. 😟 Could finish it.

[@rhinestoneropers9204]

Thanks.
