Re: Backcountry Meetings

I often encounter mountain bikers and even horse packers, we rode into a remote area in Sept. and then did some backpack hunting. We encountered other packtrains, one in a VERY hairy spot on narrow switchbacks high above a rushing small river, but, everyone was cordial and helpful, so, we got all the horses past each other.

The mountain bikers here are fine when they meet a packtrain, everyone is friendly and careful; there is, however, still lots of remote wilderness and empty space here, so, everyone has lots of room.

Horses are fine in the the bush, IF, they are handled well.
