Aspects of the Rainbow Mountain experience are best told from the perspective of our guests.


Chris Neal and his fatherChris M. Neal, Victoria, BC

This past summer my Dad and I had the wonderful opportunity to explore the Rainbow Mountains by horseback, guided by the Dorsey family (Rainbow Mountain Outfitters).    . . . this was one of the most amazing experiences of my life.

I feel fortunate to have travelled extensively throughout my life, having walked the Great Wall of China, climbed inside the pyramids of Giza, and stood on top of Uluru (Ayers Rock) in Australia. I can honestly say that my trip with the Dorseys this past summer rivals any other adventure I have experienced.

Having visited many front-country parks within BC, I now understand that the back-country is truly unique. BC has such an amazing system of front-country parks, that are far more maintained, administered, and visited than the Rainbows in Tweedsmuir. However it was the isolated, natural, bush experience that I wished to visit - and I wasn’t disappointed.

From the moment we arrived, we were taken in as family by the Dorseys. Each member of their team offered us different insight into the park as well as a deep respect for its history and the importance of conservation and protection. The Dorseys' unique personal history is evident through the stories and the innate knowledge that they shared with us on a daily basis. Simply put, they are in a league of their own. David, Joyce, Leslie and Aileen created a trip that my dad and I will never forget. I will, without a doubt, be back to visit both this amazing park and the Dorseys, in what I hope is the very near future.

My experience with the Dorseys was exceptional. They are by far the most professional outfitters I have some across in years. Their sensitive attitude towards the environment and the way they care for their horses is exemplary. The meals were gourmet and their clients were looked after in a very professional manner. The Dorseys provided me with a sense of history and a feeling for the area we travelled in - they know it intimately.

We found horse-assisted hiking to be the ideal way to explore Tweedsmuir Park, especially as one of us likes to ride while the other prefers to hoof it. Both of us appreciated the fact that the horses carried our packs, along with the ingredients for Joyce's campfire kitchen creations. Can't wait to discover more of the Chilcotin with Rainbow Mountain Outfitting.
