About Double Diamond Outfitters
Double Diamond Outfitters is a Bozeman-based adventure company offering guided horseback riding, hunting, and wilderness pack trips into the mountains of southwest Montana. Operating in the Gallatin and Madison ranges near Yellowstone National Park, they provide authentic backcountry experiences that connect guests with Montana's rugged landscape in ways that motorised transport simply cannot. Their string of well-trained horses and mules has been carrying riders into remote alpine basins, along ridgeline trails, and through pristine meadows for years.
Summer offerings include half-day and full-day horseback rides through mountain terrain, multi-day wilderness pack trips with camp cooking and riverside camping, and customised backcountry adventures for families and groups. During hunting season, they run guided elk, deer, and bear hunts in prime habitat, providing pack support to transport gear in and game out. All rides are led by experienced wranglers and guides who know the trails, the wildlife, and the weather patterns that shape the backcountry experience. No prior riding experience is required for introductory rides — they match each guest with an appropriate horse and pace.
Double Diamond Outfitters stands out for the authenticity of their operation — this is not a nose-to-tail trail ride through a pasture, but genuine mountain riding in wild country. Their guides share stories of the land, point out wildlife, and create an atmosphere that feels like stepping back into Montana's frontier heritage. For visitors seeking an outdoor experience beyond the typical raft-or-hike options, a horseback trip with Double Diamond offers something truly memorable and distinctly Montana.
