M-K Horse Expeditions
Expedition T1
July 21-August 1 (12 Days): East Toad to Churchill
Price: $7,560 + GST
This 12-day trip begins at Mile 442 on the Alaska Highway and ends near Mount Churchill where guests will meet the bush plane for the flight back to Fort Nelson. This expedition is mostly riding, but there will be some walking over steep terrain. It is a spectacular route, starting in lower country and finishing high in a valley surrounded by majestic mountain peaks. Most days will be spent travelling with the pack string, with some days off to allow for rest and day hikes. This trip is best suited for people who are riders and have experience riding in the backcountry as the terrain is considered advanced. You will also need to be physically fit to manage long days in the saddle, getting on and off your horse several times in the day, and some hiking.
Expedition T2
August 1-10 (10 Days): Churchill to Mayfield
Price: $6,300 + GST
This trip will begin at the Gataga Strip near Mount Churchill and finish at our Mayfield Base Camp. You will fly in on a wheel plane from Fort Nelson and fly out from Mayfield Lake on a float plane that will take you to Muncho Lake. This trip includes travelling days with the pack string, plus a few day-rides. The route includes some rigorous days. Guests who wish to sign up for this expedition should be prepared for hiking, walking their horses, getting on and off your horse several times throughout the day, and travelling through some more advanced terrain with the horses. We will also be fording the Gataga River with the horses near our Mayfield Basecamp. This expedition has a little bit of everything, including the sauna and dock at Mayfield at the end of your journey.
Expedition T3
August 22-31 (10 Days): Mayfield to East Toad
Price: $6,300 + GST

This trip is not for the faint of heart, but if this type of extreme rigorous adventure calls to you, it is an experience of a lifetime.
