Hike in Montana’s Largest Wilderness Area, the Bob Marshall

The only outfitter in the Bob Marshall Wilderness that caters to stock-supported guided hiking trips, Dropstone Outfitting’s services allow our guests to carry a light day pack while our seasoned stock transport the gear to camp. Based along Montana’s Rocky Mountain Front, we know how special this part of Montana is, from the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex to nearby Glacier National Park. Because of this, we specialize in trips that introduce guests to gorgeous landscapes, remote locations, iconic wonders (like the Chinese Wall) and incredible hiking and backpacking routes in one of the state’s most beautiful places. Plus, our trips include knowledgeable guides, homecooked meals and an adventure that can only be found in the mountains of Montana.

Also, if you’ve ever wanted to hunt in the backcountry of Montana, look at our our fair chase wilderness hunting opportunities.

What Others Say

Don’t just take our word for it, take a look at what our customers have to say.

  • I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dropstone Outfitting!!! Their professional trips promote immersion in remote wilderness environments where clients participate in hiking, wildlife watching, swimming mountain lakes, exploring geology formations, photography, storytelling about old timers, or just plain enjoying solitude. Food is healthy, delicious, and plentiful. Safety is always foremost in all activity. I especially like the options offered on layover days - extra hiking and exploring to climb those higher trails and peaks or just hanging out in camp and enjoying the beauty of wilderness. Dropstone Outfitting's knowledge of and love for the wilderness make their trips truly unique and memorable.

  • After two wilderness trips with Dropstone, I am looking forward to a third! This is a premier experience for those who like to hike and absorb some of the wildest country in Montana while enjoying great camp food and good company.

  • The Dropstone team is the epitome of what outfitting should be. They deliver an in-depth learning experience, while operating in a sustainable manner and making certain you have everything you need while exploring one of the greatest wilderness areas in the world. To top it all off, their team is a blast to be around. Did I mention that the meals are different every night and all of them delicious? Can’t wait to do another trip!

  • The concept behind Dropstone is spot-on and Maggie, Yve, and their crew do it just right. I can’t imagine a company being more enjoyable to explore the Bob with.

  • Dropstone’s owners and staff have more knowledge of the Bob Marshall Wilderness, and more expertise moving people and gear through it, than you could believe. For clients this means a fantastic experience, each trip tailored to the desires of a given group, at a given time of year, in a given area. Truly excellent. The desserts alone deserve five stars!

  • I had one of the best weeks of my year on my Dropstone trip.  The itinerary was incredible, the food delicious, and the guides took great care of us.  I would not and could not have done this trip on my own and I am so grateful for your business and philosophy in support of a minimal impact on wilderness areas.
