Livingston Outfitting offers the best in outdoor vacations. Whether your interests lean toward fishing, photography, lots of riding, wildlife viewing, or just laying around camp with a good book, our horsepack trips make the perfect family vacation. You will be accompanied by a licensed, professional guide, an experienced cook and a wrangler, using gentle mountain-wise horses, to ensure your trip is a safe and enjoyable experience. We start our trips in Cody, Wyoming and we move on horseback through some of the most pristine areas on the outskirts of Yellowstone National Park. You will see some of the best wilderness Wyoming has to offer including the Yellowstone mountains, herds of elk, grizzly bears, wild rivers and streams filled with fish, countless birds and other wildlife.

High Country Adventures
These trips are the closest you’ll get to exploring the mountains the way the early mountain men did. All of the food, camping gear, and everything necessary to make a comfortable mountain camp, is carried on the backs of sturdy pack animals. You will travel the winding mountain trails aboard a sure-footed, experienced horse. A new camp is made every other night, giving you a chance to explore the surrounding countryside, fish, or just relax in camp with a book. Just like the early explorers, our necessities for a good campsite are feed for the horses, water, and wood for fire. A timber fringed meadow with a creek gurgling through the middle is the most common campsite.
Buffalo Bill Grizzly Safari
Join us for a trip through the Wyoming wilderness where Buffalo Bill camped and hunted more than 100 years ago. We’ll travel as Buffalo Bill did on sure-footed horses through the spectacular Absaroka Range, surrounded by peaks that stretch up to twelve thousand feet above sea level.
To make your trip a first class experience, everything is packed in on horses and mules by experienced mountain guides and wranglers. In addition to a guide and wrangler, camp will be staffed by an experienced mountain cook to provide you with culinary delights throughout the trip. A knowledgeable, experienced, naturalist will also be on hand to answer questions and inform you about all of the many wonders you’ll be seeing.

Horses will transport us through spectacular alpine cirques where wildflowers paint the slopes crimson and gold. You’ll be traveling through wild country – grizzly country. We’ll take time to scan the slopes with binoculars and spotting scopes to view them from a safe distance and you’ll learn the surprising ways these creatures make their living among the high peaks. While the occasional bear might be seen on some of our trips, these trips are specifically taken to view grizzly bears in their natural habitat. Mid-to-late summer will find these mountain monarchs concentrating in the high alpine basins. They are traveling there in search of food to tide them over through the long winter ahead. As many as fifteen bears have been seen in one day on these trips.
In addition to grizzlies there will be a chance to see other wildlife including Big Horn sheep, mule deer, elk, and a great variety of birds and small mammals. Since this is the beginning of the breeding season for the elk, you might get to hear one of the most beautiful sounds in nature — the bugle of a bull elk.
While one of the highlights of this trip is a chance to see bears and other wildlife, this is an opportunity to see and learn about all aspects of a truly wild wilderness that few people ever get to experience.
Trophy Fly-Fishing
Although fishing is available on many of our trips, this trip has fishing as the main attraction. Generally one camp is set and the fishing waters are hiked or ridden to from there. Native Cutthroat, Rainbow, and Brook trout are the main species people fish for. The majority of the fishing is done in the rivers that form the Shoshone River west of Cody. However there is the occasional high alpine lake for our anglers to explore. A professional fishing guide can be added for an additional charge.
Full and Half-Day Trail Rides
We like to call these trips “wilderness appetizers.” These rides will give you a little taste of what to expect on our horsepack trips. We intentionally keep our groups small so that every rider can enjoy all aspects of the ride, and not feel like just a number on a hot dusty trail. Although we have rides for all ranges of riding experience, from beginner to expert, we specialize in rides off the beaten path for the more experienced rider.
Base-Camp Adventures
Not keen on doing a lot of riding? Do you have young children who might get tired out from moving camp often? Our base camp trips are the perfect solution. After a short ride to camp, we stay at one location for the duration of the trip. Of course horseback riding will be available every day for those who wish, along with other activities like fishing and day hiking.
Corporate Retreats
Out-of-the-box thinking takes out-of-the-office experiences. Take your group to the wilderness of northwest Wyoming, where folks have learned what they are made of for 150 years. Whether you’re looking for a wilderness retreat or a focused team-building program, this is your trip. Our staff can design a program tailored to meet your needs, provide for your back country comforts, and serve up great food. Your gear will be packed in by horse, and you can choose to hike or ride into camp. Get to know your group on a new level as you work and play together in this new environment.
