Heard from the guide. If 5 people go, the cost per person to have us taken in and dropped off will be about $250.00 each. That would save us 1 day from hiking in ourselfs and alot of energy. We will need it to go in to the lakes I am planning to fish. It's 62 miles from the road to the trailhead all on dirt roads, so hauling in 9 horses and taking us is costs alot of time and money. More details to follow. Only have room for 3 more people.

5 riding horses, 2 pack horses, and 2 horses for the guides. If we all have an average weight of 40 lbs. That is 200 lbs. Each horse can carry a max of 150 Lbs. Anything over 5 horses requires 2 guides. Not to crazy about dropping our stuff and leaving it there with no one around. This is for the secret lakes. Have to call them and ask when they need the $$$$. Refund policy in case of Fires, like last time ect. More to follow when I find out. Thanks everyone!
