Exclusive horseback pack trips and big game hunting expeditions for corporate groups, incentive buyers, and DMC partners. Off-grid. Unforgettable. 45 minutes from Salt Lake City.
High Star Ranch • Kamas, Utah • Wasatch Back • Guided by Jeremie & Jayce Forman • (435) 640-3184
Both experiences are private, fully guided, and built for groups who want something they cannot book at a resort. Your group. Your trail. Your story.
Multi-day horseback expeditions into the Uinta Mountains. Camp under the stars, eat well, ride hard, and come back a different crew than you left as. No vehicle access. No crowds. Just horses, wilderness, and your people.
Fully guided 5-day backcountry hunts on horseback. Deer, elk, bear, mountain lion, mountain goat, and moose. We ride into country that road hunters never see. This is the kind of hunt that earns a spot on the wall and stays in the story for decades.
The best incentive experiences are ones people actually remember. Riding into the Uinta backcountry on horseback, making camp a few thousand feet above the valley, and waking up to nothing but mountains and the smell of a fire is not something you can replicate at a hotel. This is the experience that becomes the story everyone tells at the next company kickoff.
Horseback is the only way in. Your group has the trail, the camp, and the guides entirely to themselves. There are no other guests sharing your experience.
No cell service. No laptops. No Slack. Just your team, the horses, and the kind of conversation that only happens when you are miles from a road.
High Star Ranch in Kamas puts your group in the saddle fast. Fly into Salt Lake City, drive through the Wasatch, and you are in a completely different world before lunch.
Jeremie and Jayce Forman have spent their lives in these mountains. They know the land, the animals, and how to take care of guests who have never been on a horse and guests who have been hunting their whole life.
