NEW TITLE

Horse Camping

[Revised Edition]

George HatleyPhotographs by Lewis PortnoyIntroduction by Juli S. Thorson

Horse camping has long been part o Pacic Northwestlore. The Nez Perce used horses as transportation, androntier ur trappers also loaded and rode the animals.The journals o these mountain men oten contain glow-ing accounts o their nomadic liestyle and exhibit a pro-ound appreciation o their surroundings. Today, peoplestill long to experience pristine wilderness and enjoy thesimple pleasures nature oers. Pack trips allow individuals o many ages and physicalabilities to reach glorious backcountry they would never see otherwise.George Hatley has a deep connection to the region and its early pioneers. As aboy, he learned that his great uncle had been involved in the Misery Hill scrimmageo the Nez Perce war, and that the Native Americans were riding Appaloosas. Helistened to his grandather recount his Palouse country arrival by wagon train in 1877,describing a beautiul expanse with stirrup-high grass waving in the wind like oceansur. But the grand prairie sea became armland, and so during harvest season, youngGeorge was ascinated by teams o 33 horses pulling combines. He eventually becamea cattle rancher and trail guide, indulging both his adventurous spirit and his pas-sion or horses by leading numerous camping trips amid the Northwest’s magnicentmountains and canyons.Originally released in 1981 and again in 1992, George Hatley’s common-sensemanual is considered a classic. In his amiable, practical voice, he shares bothsuccesses and oversights, and reveals observations and experiences rom years asan outtter. He covers trip planning, horses, tack, gear, ood, and other aspects o advanced preparation. He discusses horse hauling and packing or the journey.Finally, he provides inormation about setting out on the trail, establishing a site,and lie in camp.
