Atlantic City, WY - Let mountain air brush your cheeks and comb your hair as you stroll past historic gold mines.

On the Trail of the SheepEaters This archaeological horse-packing trip to goes to Whiskey Mountain in the Fitzpatrick Wilderness of the Wind River Range. Taylor Outfitters and archaeologist Rich Adams will record several known Mountain Shoshone sites and stone artifacts, gather wild edible plants and cook bighorn sheep meat in steatite cooking vessels for part of the meals. We will be re-creating scenes that have not been seen in the Rocky Mountains for at least a hundred and twenty-five years. We will have some of the most knowledgeable people in this field as resources in an informal outdoor setting. The SheepEaters, a branch of the Mountain Shoshone culture, made their home and lived in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. In years past, little was understood about this culture, but today's evidence shows them to be an unique and thriving people. We will explore the area where this culture centered its life around the magnificant Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep. SheepEater wickiups constructed by these Native Americans are still visible. Research into how the technology and tools of these early mountain people is revealing new information every year. This SheepEater home is now recognized as an ancient wildlife and human migration route in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Abundant diversity of wildlife is still seen regularly and native fisheries are prolific along the way. The location of the trip's camp will be a breath-taking high elevation site in the Wind River Mountains at about 10,000 feet. During the trip, we will read accounts about SheepEaters by Osborne Russell, Lewis and Clark and other explorers to understand their insights into this native culture. When packing please try to minimize your gear as much as possible, "think light and compact with layers" as we try to minimze our impact on Yellowstone's backcountry camp sites by limiting the number of pack animals needed for each trip. Participants furnish their own sleeping bag, pad and personal gear and will be given a gear list upon booking with Taylor Outfitters. We plan to meet for the packtrip at the Whiskey Creek trailhead.

Follow the road left past the Bighorn sheep kiosk and around the meadow. As the road starts to climb the hill, turn right to follow the route around the big meadow past a metal barn. Go about a mile on that road and then turn right on the Whiskey Creek trailhead road and we will be along the creek saddling up the horses. We provide all meals, camping supplies and equipment except for your sleeping bags, pads and personal gear. We will plan on a wide array of meals for the trip, but if there is something in particular that you would prefer, please don‚t hesitate to contact us about it ahead of time. We offer great gourmet campfire meals and we would be glad to accommodate any specific dietary requests. The campfire possibilities are endless and fun.
