Colorado Rendezvous

Here is your chance to learn how to pack equipment into the mountains on horses and mules in this dedicated packing clinic in the magnificent San Juan Mountains near Montrose, CO. Top guide Larry Franks will provide detailed instructions, mules and horses, and necessary equipment to teach our riders the skills of this timeless outdoorsman craft. Riders will spend five days packing throughout the canyons, mountain meadows, and pristine forests in the high Rocky Mountains and then put their skills to the test packing in rafting equipment needed for a three day raft and fly fishing venture down the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. 

Open to: This is an advanced JMHP clinic for 6 Semper Fi Fund/America’s Fund members who are interested in really learning how to pack mules and horses to the skill level needed to become an outfitter.
