Fly-In Camping

"Fly in" to the grass air strip at Magee Ranger Station. We will pick you up and drive you to the trailhead. From there you will horseback 5-7 miles to one of our camps where you will be fed a home cooked meal around the campfire or in the cafeteria tent. After a hearty breakfast, the next morning, you will ride back to the trailhead and be shuttled to the airstrip where you will have a picnic lunch and be on your way.
