Drive 100 head of horses and mules over 80 miles from
Black Lake to June Lake
in California.
Join us while we herd about 100 head of horses and mules in the spring
between the winter headquarters to the summer pack station in the
mountains (reverse in the fall). An active traveling trip for people of
all ages and riding levels. Your tents and gear will be transported each
day and will be waiting for you as you drive the stock into camp. Don't
miss four days of hospitality, home cooking, and the thrill of the
roundup.
This is one of the slower horse drives we offer, but you should have some prior riding
experience to join this trip.
