We did a pack trip last summer. We had an excellent time. The family, employees included, was so wonderful. Coming from a metropolitan area it was so refreshing to visit somewhere where people are still so friendly. Montana is beautiful and I would highly recommend this company for a pack take on a camping vacation.
Just back from a 7 day trip. Five guests to the South Chinese Wall. Had a great time…beautiful landscape, great campsites…the food was excellent…and the fishing couldn’t be better. These are the outfitters you want to choose.
If you’re looking for a great trip in the Montana wilderness, run by some fantastic people, you can’t go wrong with 7 Lazy P Outfitting. Highly recommended – you won’t regret it.
I thoroughly enjoyed my 8-day trip into the Bob Marshall with the7 Lazy P Outfitters in July 2023. The wranglers/packers were experts at their jobs. The stock always came first. Seeing the mules and horses take off at a frisky gallop headed for their evening grazing after a long day of riding and packing was a testament to their good care. All the staff were helpful and attentive. They seemed to know when someone needed attention, even before help was asked for. I was not an experienced rider and I felt in very capable hands at all times. The magnificent scenery of “the Bob” unfurled before us daily and the trip was truly a once in a lifetime experience. Trips like these don’t go well by accident. Months of planning by the 7 Lazy P was on full display every day.
We have had 4 great adventures with 7 Lazy P Outfitting. We did not originally intend repeat adventures but with the beauty of the Bob Marshall Wilderness combined with how well Dusty, Danelle and crew took care of us and their stock, great food and attention to details, we couldn’t resist. They provided an unforgettable experience for us and our Granddaughters.
I’ve been taking backcountry horse-pack trips with 7 Lazy P since 1995, sometimes with family, sometimes with friends, and, one time, alone. It’s a way to hike up hills in the ‘Bob’ without having to carry a heavy pack for a week or more. Every one of my trips has been enjoyable and fun. I’ve always had a good horse, the crew and scenery are great, and the food delicious and filling. And the layover days provide ample opportunities for hiking.
If you are looking for a great experience in the Bob Marshall Wilderness, look no further than 7 Lazy P Outfitting. Dusty and Danelle run amazing pack trips that allow you to experience the Bob in an authentic way where you can see areas of Montana that can only be reached on foot or by horse. They have wonderful people working for them. Their backcountry cooks prepare excellent meals for you during your trip. Their wranglers work very hard and make your trip very enjoyable. The wranglers and guides do an incredible job loading and unloading the mules and guiding their pack strings through the mountains so that all you need to take with you during your ride is your rain gear and your horn bag. 7 Lazy P Outfitting takes very good care of its stock (horses and mules). You will appreciate how hard your horse works for you so that you can enjoy the great scenery of the beautiful backcountry while you ride. Going on a trip into the Bob allows you to get away from your busy routine and just relax in the beautiful Montana wilderness. 7 Lazy P Outfitting has a nice guest ranch with comfortable cabins right outside the Bob that you stay at before and after your ride into the Bob. At the end of your trip you may be tired from the long ride, but you will miss it the next day and wish you were back in the Bob with the great group of people you were with. I highly recommend 7 Lazy P Outfitting.
7 Lazy P provided us with an amazing experience. My sister and I did this trip together to celebrate her 30th birthday. Neither of us have ever done a trip like this before but love to camp, hike and ride horses. This was an excellent trip for all of that and more. As newcomers to horse pack trips, we weren’t sure what to expect, we were just excited for the adventure. Dusty Crary and his crew exceeded all expectations as true experts in their field. The Crary family is patient, hard-working and demonstrate a deep reverence to the land and their animals. I trusted their judgement every step of the way and everything went smoothly. We went on beautiful rides with the most sound horses I’ve ever ridden. It was truly one of the best experiences of my life and I can’t wait to book another trip when our schedules allow! I would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves horses and nature. Even if you aren’t experienced under saddle, if you are gentle and allow the horse to lead the way, you won’t have any trouble. All around great trip and couldn’t recommend them more. As they say “7 Lazy P: the 5 billion star hotel!”
