You can also choose to hike into your base camp and back out while we shuttle your gear on our pack horses.

A 50% deposit is due to schedule a reservation for any of our overnight trips or pack trip-drop trips; O.K. Corral Stables must be paid in full 10 days before your trip.
Full refunds are given if the customer notifies O.K. Corral Stables of cancelation at least 10 days prior to the scheduled trip. The customer forfeits the 50% deposit for cancellations within 10 days of the scheduled trip. No refunds are issued to "no shows."

If rescheduling cannot be worked out with the customer, a full refund will be issued back to the customer.
