Great 5 day horse trip into Pasayten wilderness with outstanding food and scenery. These are rugged mountains but well trained horses handled it easily. Would suggest some experience with riding before embarking on this kind of trip read more

Darwood Outfitters has given me so many special moments in the mountains. Long dusty rides, so much laughter, cold mountain lakes, mountain tops, beautiful horses and mules, great food, bells at night, campfires, a bonafide singing cowboy, cowboy poetry, and morning coffee. And joy. So much joy among friends that carries me through difficult moments until next time the mountains call. Pure magic. It is my escape with friends. We are pampered in the best way - with amazing horses, gorgeous scenery, fabulous food, did I mention laughter and joy? Darwood Outfitters makes your trip special. You might even make friends that feel like family. I did. I can't wait to go again this year! read more

History
Established in 1934.
The pack outfit was founded in 1934 by Ole Scott. In 1982, his nephew and employee, Steve Darwood purchased the outfit which became Cascade Wilderness Outfitters. Steve’s family homesteaded in the Methow Valley, just three miles from his home in Carlton, in 1890. In 2020, the family owned and operated business transitioned as Steve handed the reins over to his son and employee of 23 years, Jess Darwood. Steve and Jess have spent decades working together, packing, guiding, shoeing, training and building custom saddles. Along with his wife and children, Jess is honored to carry on the family business and share his love of the wilderness with generations to come.
Meet the Business Owner: Jess D.
Jess Darwood began packing for his dad, Steve Darwood, when he was just 13 years old. Having been born and raised in the Methow Valley and spending his childhood on horseback in the wilderness, he is thrilled to be carrying on the family outfitting tradition as the owner of Darwood Outfitting. Jess is a fourth generation outfitter in the Methow Valley.

At nearly the end of the road in Okanogan country are some of the most beautiful mountains in the US. Darwood Outfitting takes you into the heart of the Pasayten Wilderness area or the Sawtooth Mountains. The views, the silence, and the wide open skies are extraordinary.
