Dearborn Canyon Overnight Horseback Trip (Scapegoat Wilderness)

Step away from the busy world and into true Montana backcountry on this 2-day / 1-night scenic horseback getaway with Montana Safaris. Departing from Augusta, Montana, this trip follows the stunning Dearborn Canyon on a roughly 9-mile ride into the Scapegoat Wilderness—a perfect option for guests who want an authentic wilderness experience without needing to take a full week off.

You’ll travel by well-trained mountain stock and ride with an experienced guiding crew that handles the backcountry logistics, camp setup, and meals so you can focus on the views, the ride, and the campfire experience. Expect big scenery, peaceful wilderness quiet, and classic Montana hospitality from start to finish.

Once you arrive at camp, the evening is all about relaxing and soaking it in—followed by a memorable 4-course steak dinner in the backcountry. Wake up the next morning to a quiet wilderness sunrise and a hearty breakfast before riding back out to town.
