Spruce Lake Wilderness Adventures

Wildlife Viewing Package

Imagine yourself in the middle of nature just as she is waking up from a long winters nap. Grasslands are green, wildflowers are splendid and the mighty Grizzly is roaming the green valley bottoms. Your sure footed horse carries you and all your belongings out into the wild to capture all this on your cameras and in your memories for a lifetime. One of our most experienced, highly trained guides will help you to learn to track these beautiful creatures. This is a great time to hit the back country as it is still very quiet out there! We will travel into the freshly revealed valley bottoms where the carpet of wildflowers will be bursting with energy!
