This was quite the experience for our seasoned saddle sore riders. Riding in on our first day the weather was a bit drizzly and we woke up the next morning to guess what…SNOW! That's not supposed to happen in the middle of August!
Scott and Brenda worked to resurrect the tent over the dining area as the weight of the snow overnight caused it to collapse. (Nice work pants, Brenda!)
This woke our chef Rachel - who as you can see wasn't daunted by the weather, but put on her insulated coveralls and had hot coffee and breakfast ready for everyone in short order.
Although it did make for a bit of a mucky ride to Lost Guide Lake the next day, the snowcapped mountains offered a breathtaking view and we got some great pictures.
Brenda and Terri pose in front of a wintery but spectacular version of Lost Guide Lake while Wrangler Scott stands beside Max, who I'm sure is thinking, "I didn't sign up for this!" 
The following day the snow had all but disappeared on the ground, and we headed up to Forty Mile Ridge. 
One guest who had been on many previous rides commented that the view from there was one of the best he’d ever seen.
And congratulations to our inaugural SaddleSore guests – Rick and Deb! They weren’t too sure what to make of the backcountry life at first but had a great time – especially when the sun came out!
And of course Brenda and Terri treat our guests with the courtesy.
Then again, I can't tell who is winning this wrestling match! But it doesn't look like Brenda, does it?
And the brief spell of cooler weather brought some other 'guests' down - those lucky enough got a chance to see mule deer, whitetail deer, and a spike elk and three cow elk grazing with our horses in the morning.
