Trip Itinerary
Fishing & Hunting Trips
Arrive in Kalispell, MT (via Delta,or Northwest arrive the day before your trip early afternoon (Please plan to make your own airfare plans as ticket prices can fluctuate throughout the year. We will meet you and take you to the Diamond R Lodge, where you will stay your first night. After we drop off your gear, we’ll drive about 60 miles to the lodge, where you will spend a restful afternoon. You will get a great meal before settling in for the evening in small, but clean cabins. You will rise early, have a full breakfast and drive the 10 or 12 miles to the trailhead. There you will be assigned your horse for the week, and if all goes well, be on the trail by 8:30 am. The trail ride is approx. 7½ hours, “with an hour for lunch” to the Salmon Forks campsite on the Southfork of the Flathead River. There is no getting around it, riding a horse for 7½ hours is a pain in the ***, but if you want to visit beautiful country, and get away from people and civilization, this is the trip for you. We’ll arrive in camp about 4:00. You can take a river bath, fish, have a beer, or just relax as Janis and Mark prepare dinner. It’s usually steaks with all the fixin’s. There is no schedule. You can fish,hunt, read a book, sleep, hike, or horseback ride. The purpose of this week is to loose ourselves in the beauty of the wilderness, and catch a lot of fish, or have a great hunting experience. On the morning of your last day, you will pack up and make the 7½ hour ride back to the trailhead. You will then be transported back to your motel, have dinner and get some sleep. You can catch a flight out of Kalispell the next day.
