SPOT TRIPS 2023You are taken by horseback, and your gear and provisions by pack animal to a desirable campsite on a lake or stream. The stock and packer return for you on a predetermined date. Your length of stay does not affect the charges. You furnish your own camp gear and food.
Map of Mono Creek Area The Forest Service limits pack stock by a 1:1.5 stock-to-person ratio. Spot trip rate will include mules up to the limit allowed in the roundtrip fee.
Information on "Trail ride, All Expense and Base Camp Trips General Info" applies to riders on spot trips with the exception of item #3 (we only serve breakfast to trail ride, base camp and all-expense trip guests) and item #7 regarding dunnage limit. Read reservation policy on page 22. People organizing spot trips should send our brochure to others going on the trip to familiarize them with Rock Creek's policies. Please have gear at pack station at 7am. We provide wilderness permits for our guests.
REMINDERS TO HELP YOU & YOUR PACKER:1. 7 a.m. arrival at pack station requested unless advised otherwise. Breakfast available at lodge or resort while mules are being loaded. 2. Sleeping bags should be rolled tightly (long way) and personal items should be brought in duffel or safari bags securely fastened so they won't leak on the trail. 3. Axes and saws should have sheath or cardboard around blade. 4. Fishing rods must be in metal or stout cases with secure ends. 5. Tent poles should be reduced to shortest size bundle possibleand securely tied so poles won't slip out. 6. Release pressure in lanterns and stoves and fill square gas cans about 1" from top. Turn upside down to check for leaks. 7. Our pack boxes are about 24" x 10" x 15" deep (inside measure). 8. If you have your own pack boxes, pack tightly and in pairs equally balanced between 50 and 60 lbs. 9. No improved campsites in wilderness; each party must bring own grill, stove and tables. 10. Bring canned and bottled goods separated from soft packaged items and perishables. Leave eggs in grocers cartons. FOOD SUGGESTIONS 1. Make menu for each day of trip-this can include fresh meat for first few days. Most fruits and vegetables will keep ten days or more. Many people crave sweets more when in the mountains. 2. Prepare exact shopping list of quantities indicated by your menu. Don't forget to provide for your packer for the time he is with you.
