Winter in the Selway Bitterroot Wilderness is one of the most beautiful times of year. Frost along the river and creeks transforms the scenery into a surreal winter wonderland. Wildlife settles in at lower elevations this time of year and it is not unusual to see deer, elk, moose or sheep as you travel on the Historic Magruder Corridor through the largest and most rugged wilderness in the lower 48.
Day Trips
Our Snowmobile DAY TRIP is led by an experienced guide. We head up the Corridor toward the Idaho/Montana border where the views of the Bitterroot Range and Castle Rock blanketed in snow are spectacular. Once cresting the top we wind down through “sugar” coated pines and firs to our deluxe Base Camp to warm up in our well appointed kitchen tent and enjoy a hot and hardy gourmet lunch, hot chocolate, cider and snacks. It is a 25 mile ride from the trailhead to our base camp in Idaho and takes about 1 ••• hours. Afternoon activities can include further exploring the Corridor to the Magruder Ranger Station by snowmobile or simply relaxing in the comfortable surroundings in camp before our return trip.

Overnight Adventures
The OVERNIGHT ADVENTURE will be the highlight of your winter! It’s as much fun as the DAY TRIP…..only more. Wine and cheese will whet your appetite for an unforgettable backcountry cuisine served with home baked breads and dessert. After dinner experience a night ride by moonlight or feel the soul piercing peace only the wilderness can offer snowshoeing under the starlit sky. Sleeping accommodations are well appointed cabin tents with comfortable beds, wooden floors, heated by a woodstove…..very warm and cozy. The next morning finds you waking to the smell of fresh coffee, the crackling of the kitchen tent’s fires and anticipation of the day ahead. The sun rises up over the canyon wall bringing warmth to the canyon trail and illuminating a winter wonderland. There are numerous tracks and wildlife to observe. It is hard to describe the beauty of this country in winter and few are lucky enough to see it firsthand. Activities for the day could include a winter survival class, exploring the wilderness by snowshoes or bring your cross country skis to venture out and of course more snowmobiling. We will return to camp for lunch and then “saddle up” snowmobiles for the trip back over the pass.
