High Sierra Horsepacking

Saddle up, let's hit the trail on horseback in the High Sierra near Bishop, California. We ride with the Rock Creek Pack Station and camp at Davis Lake for three days during the first week of August '06.

This is traditional out-west style camping with a pot of muddy coffee always on the campfire and hot cakes on the griddle in the morning.

We ride the gentle stock, some of which were adopted Mustangs and experience the western hospitality of the Wranglers and Packers of the Eastern Sierra.

I highly recommend LoopRope.com for strapping down the gear on the horses. There are no knot free tie downs as versatile as LoopRope. Never tangles and it won't lose tension. Check it out! I guarantee you will love the stuff.
