went with them last year. Wasn’t very impressed. But on the other hand there the cheapest around. But the way I look at it is if you pay what there asking the gear and service should be up to par. :twocents:

Icicle Outfitters is fully open:  Horseback rides at Lake Wenatchee and Leavenworth, summer pack trips and hunts.  The State Park asked Bruce to start horseback rides at the park on May 29th.  Very busy summer.

I wouldnt call an outit and say, where can you drop me.  Id call the outfit serving the place i want to go and call to ask them how close to "there" can they drop you.  Think of them as uber and you are on the right track.

Pro-Tip...also ask them where they already have camps. Then, don't be like some people and proactively waste your time and/or those camps' time by going there.   8) ;)

The good outfitters won't haul you to a destination anywhere near any of their other clients.

Just beware some guys think they own the forest because they forked out money to be hauled in and try to tell you to stay out.

Also beware that some guys are dense enough to try hunting in an area that everyone knows already has a bunch of hunters that get hauled into it every year.

Yea the places where those that are not taken on horse are not allowed because it's so rough without crampons.
