Trip Details
This is a five
day pack trip into the Cloud Peak Wilderness Area of northern Wyoming's Big
Horn Mountains. Stay in a permanent
base camp right on Flatiron lake with both stream and lake fishing
for wild cutthroat's and brook trout a few steps away. This is a great couples
or father and son/daughter
trip. Its just a plain good time with great food, beautiful surroundings, and
plenty of willing fish.
Nestled
deep in the beautiful Big Horn Mountains,
Flatiron Lake sits like a precious gem surrounded
by pristine wilderness. Access to the neighboring Cloud Peak Wilderness Area is
allowed only on foot or horseback and as a result is lightly visited. This area
has many spectacular lakes and streams that are hard to reach, but offer superb
fishing for native trout as well as spectacular high mountain vistas and
wildlife. Our camp at Flatiron
Lake sits alone, the only
outpost in this remote region.
Getting to the camp is part of the fun and is
done on gentle mountain horses following easy trails past some of the Big
Horn's best scenery. Our camp consists of comfortable wall tents with cots,
mattresses and propane heaters for comfortable sleeping conditions. All of your
meals are prepared by our staff cook and are taken either around a roaring
campfire or in our spacious dining tent. As an added amenity we have a private
bathroom tent and shower facilities.
We can provide easy mountain horseback rides,
offer great local hikes to nearby streams and lakes or just enjoy a mountain
meadow with fresh wildflowers blooming or elk roaming the forest edges.
Flatiron Camp is one of the most beautiful locations around and we're sure that
you'll agree the combination of solitude, wildlife and clean mountain air is
the perfect antidote for civilization!
