Camping Tours – Wild in the Pryors

Due to the on going Cornovirus, I have decided to cancel this years trips. I will be doing 2021 and will release those dates at another time. Thank you. Sandy

Have you ever wanted to photograph wild horses in their nature setting? The Pryor Mountains in Montana offers you an amazing opportunity to do that with an equally amazing backdrop. You will have full days loaded with the opportunity to capture the horses in action, starting with the first light and ending with the blue hour and sunset. And if you choose, you can stay up late and capture some of the dark starry skies in photos and then fall asleep with the horses near by.

Whether you bring a professional camera, or just a cell phone to take photos, Sandy goes out of her way to make sure you leave the mountain with cherished memories of your once in a life-time camping trip.

Sandy has been camping in the Pryors since 2009, spending weeks at a time with the horses, and has been providing camping tours since 2013. Abbie Branchflower will be joining Sandy for part of this season, as her assistant. Abbie also has a vast knowledge of the horses and loves to share it!

Sandy is unsure how many more years she will be doing these tours, choosing not to do tours in 2019. Don’t miss the opportunity to join her.

The many stories that Sandy and Abbie share about the horses and the range, make this trip more than just a chance to view them, it makes this a trip more about knowing the horses, giving you a brief glance into the life of the Pryor Mountain Wild Horses.

Experience living with the horses 24 hours a day and in doing so, this will give you a better understanding of what it is like to live wild on the range. All tours may include light to moderate hiking.

Wild in the Pryors is permitted by the Bureau of Land Management to conduct small group tours within the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range from January to December. Wild in the Pryors is one of a handful of businesses that have the federal permits necessary to guide clients onto this federal property.

As the camping and day tour season approaches, I thought I would just touch base on a few things that perhaps many people are not aware of.

If you have someone other than yourself take you up on the mountain (camping or day trip) and they are charging you a fee to do it, they need to have a special permit from the BLM and/or NPS. Wild in the Pryors (Sandy) has both of these. It took me several hours to fill out the application. It is very detailed and requires you to also have the proper amount of insurance in place as well.

Please ask those people if they have the proper permits in place before sending them a deposit or booking a trip. If you are in doubt if they do and want to check yourself, you can call the Billings BLM office and they can connect you with someone who can check for you. Their phone number is: 406-896-5013. It is against the law, NOT to have a permit and to charge for services.

It is frustrating for myself and other permit holders to learn of other people who are advertising and conducting tours without these proper permits in place. Not only is it frustrating for all of us, but it also causes more people on the mountain, more people around the horses, who many times don’t respect them like they should.

I run a very small tour (no more than 4 guests) on my camping tours. I plan on leaving it that way so that my presence will affect the horses (and the land) as little as possible.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself or the BLM.
