My wife Joyce and I and daughter Leslie operate Rainbow Mountain Outfitting, now in its 18th year of exclusive horse guiding in Tweedsmuir Park. My connections with the country go back to before there was such a thing as a park anywhere. Native Indian on my mother's side, my grandfather, Thomas Squinas hunted, trapped and guided in these mountains all of his life. My other grandfather, Lester Dorsey, one of Anahim Lake's pioneers, established many of the trails and camps we now use.
Our staff is a family team that has been working together for many years with each member bringing skills that make your time with us a truly enjoyable, safe, and memorable experience.
Joyce’s gourmet meals are a hallmark of our trips and a constant source of compliments from our guests, who always marvel at the varied and wholesome menus she manages to bring out of the packboxes and cook over the campfire.
Paul, our guide and packer, has been working with us for fifteen years. His knowledge of the mountains and local history and his enthusiasm for the wilderness never fail to infect everyone around him. He is an experienced and attentive hiking guide who sets a pace that is comfortable for the group.
Leslie and Aileen are our packers, wranglers and guides who have grown up with the outfit and whose skills with horses, packing and guiding will be appreciated by experienced horsemen and provide inspiration to the novice.
We invite you to join us on the trail and around the campfire this summer for a Chilcotin mountain adventure that will put you in another world with memories to last a lifetime.
Share with us the excitement of exploring the next ridge and experience the traditional life style of this historically significant park.
