I was just thinking (when I ain't used to it) that another option if you are taking your own horses out is to hire an outfitter to set up a drop camp for you. Tent is set with stove/ firewood and weed free /certified hay can be already packed in for you. Saves you some time and trouble, though you will be somewhat lighter in the pocketbook. We used to provide that service years ago , but don't know how many are still doing it in Colorado.
