Boulder Basin Outfitters

Our group of 6 had an absolutely magical and special 8 day trip from Cody to Jackson. Our guides, led by Etta and also Riley and Jenz and chef Isabel were all fun and entertaining while always keeping safety for us and the horses first and foremost. The scenery was beyond anything we could have imagined, the horses and mules were sturdy and dependable. Was it a luxury trip - no. Was it a trip of a lifetime? ABSOLUTELY!!!!! Our whole group was just astounded for 8 days and we laughed all evening with our hosts.

Our ride was eight days, seven nights. Two of us were in our late 70’s, two of us in our late 50’s, and two grandsons in their late teens. We were all pleased with the ride. Each member of the crew was good at his/her job, helpful, hard working, and friendly. The outfitter was always professional, friendly and ran a superb operation. The horses were well behaved, the food was good, and the coffee was ready every morning. We sometimes set up our tents, and sometimes slept under the stars. We had many opportunities to fish. The grandsons took real advantage of those opportunities. We had some long days in the saddle. I was ready to get off the horse on those days. But the pain and discomfort is the price of the ticket to see that magnificent country, to be with a great group of people, and make new friends. I highly, highly recommend Boulder Basin Outfitters!!

I was with Carl and Marisa from Nov 14 - 18, 2023 on a cow elk hunt. This was my second visit to Boulder Basin, having hunted mule deer with them in the 2021 season. I was on my own for the trip, and I had an absolutely unforgettable experience! Clayton was my guide this time, and he was great. He was patient with me, informative about what we were doing along the way, and attentive to my "quirks". He checked in to make sure we were on the same page about targets, ranges, and general "how are you doing?" assessments. I'm no spring chicken... We rode into some drop-dead gorgeous back country. The scenery was spectacular; the ride and views alone were worth the experience. I did harvest a nice cow elk at the end of the first day. We thought we'd be hunting again the next day, but ended up spotting some game in range for me just as we were saddling up to head in. One of those elk came out with us. I've been hunting for over 50 years. One of my cherished elements of hunts like this is the camaraderie of the hunting camp. I miss trips to Wisconsin where I grew up, as those old boys (including my father) have passed over. While I was "in camp" (at the lodge) with Boulder Basin, I got to renew that experience with Carl, Marisa, Clayton, Royce, and Owen. That was big fun too! It was a most wonderful experience, and I am most grateful for the time at Boulder Basin.

My cousin and l resently took a 5 day horse back/ fishing trip with BBO. The trip into Bridger Teton National Forest was awsome. The horse back trip in took about 7 hours and the senery was spectacular. My cousin and l are both in our seventy's, and enjoyed every minute of it. To be honest we were both glad to get off the hoeses when we arrived at camp. Edda the guide. Riley the wrangle, and lsabel the cook did a fantastic job getting the camp set up, including our tents so we could get settled in. Isabel had a great meal of chili and corn bread with all the fixin's waiting for us. All of this done in an hour after our arrival. My cousin and l have fun talking and busting balls wit each other, lm sure we were alot, but the crew joined right in the fun. The fishing wasn't great, but the experience was once in a lifetime. Edda, Riley and Isabel accomidated to every we wanted. They made bour trip a once in a lifetime trip. As l stated before my vousin and l are both in our seventy's and will probably not be able to this kind of trip again, thank you for as wonderful time and alot of great memory's. I want to give a special shot out to our cook, lsabel. Food always taste better at camp, and lsabel is a fantastic camp cook. Every meal l rated as a ten. She deserves a raise.

So as "NOT" to be long winded, my wife and I would rate the trip 5 STARS. The wranglers, Etta, Isabell, Rielly and Jans were experts at their craft. The livestock was excellent, and the scenery was beautiful. We want to thank you all for a lifetime dream Trip.
