Dropstone Outfitting, LLC

I attended a stock-supported backpacking trip into the Scapegoat Wilderness with Dropstone in July 2023. The group was simply amazing. Never before have I eaten so well in the backcountry! Yve, Bryn, Russ, Roy and Violet were incredible. 5 stars feels like an understatement. I would definitely recommend and most definitely would go on a trip with them again. Thanks Yve and the whole crew for an absolutely amazing experience!

I wholeheartedly recommend Dropstone outfitting: Maggie, Bonnie, Bryn, Elizabeth and Justin are not only friendly, humorous and competent, but they are also very good at accommodating a variety of hiking skills and speed. From those more inclined to study flora, birds, geology, etc to those who want a work out and peak climbing, I think all were happy to have Dropstone staff who shared their interests and drive and accommodated each person's pursuit. I found their combined knowledge of Bob Marshall Wilderness literature, natural history, trails, geography, flora and fauna to be very impressive. Thank-you all for one of my all-time favorite trips!

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!

Just completed the Circus Creek Guided Archery Hunt and the Dropstone Team hit it out of the ballpark on this trip. I've been DIY archery elk hunting in Colorado the last few years so I didn't know for sure what to expect...but I had a great time, learned from the guides, enjoyed the company of everyone in camp and harvested a bull. The accommodations are more than adequate, the food was excellent and the scenery was beautiful. While the elevation in the hunt area may not be extreme the steepness of the terrain will test your physical and mental toughness. Expect several thousand feet of elevation gain and loss while chasing bugles on this hunt. It was a lot of fun. Thanks to Maggie and Yve for running such a great operation and going above and beyond in customer service, to Russ for his knowledge of the area and unreal hiking ability, to Jarod for being the best grouse guide a guy could ask for and to Johnny for being with me while I harvested my 1st elk. As a team we covered a lot of miles to find elk and stay on elk. This group along with my fellow hunters made this a trip of a lifetime. Thanks again.

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.

We had the most wonderful trip. We did a four night stay, on our own, with an 11 mile hike into the Bob Marshall Wilderness. The trip was well organized, all of our questions were answered, the hike and campsite were exactly as we expected. The staff was helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I would do another adventure with Dropstone Outfitting in a heartbeat! So much fun!!!

I've trekked with Dropstone twice in the last 2 years and am going again in September 2017. I can't say enough about the quality and personal attention the owners and staff provide to their clients. The hikes are well planned in the most beautiful wilderness in Montana, and the food they provide and prepare is always delicious. If you like wilderness experiences, wildlife, and camping for a reasonable price, I suggest you connect with Dropstone Outfitting and take a trip.

The best way to see the Bob Marshall Wilderness is with Dropstone Outfitting (DO). DO planned a perfect adventure (Rocky Mtn Front Traverse June 2019) for a 62 year old woman who had not camped out or hiked extensively in years. The stock-supported trip enabled me to get back into the real wilderness without stressing about the weight of my backpack or dreading 6 days of freezed-dried food. The trip maximized the hikers' experience of the Wilderness with daily moderately strenuous hikes of 5 to 7 miles across beautiful high meadows filled with wildflowers followed by delicious home-cooked meals around a camp stove. Our guides, Yve, Maggie, Allie, Eva, and our special nature guide, Eric, were knowledgeable, super-competent, and just plain good company. I would follow the Dropstone women anywhere (and hope that it is to a place as beautiful as The Bob). I unconditionally recommend Dropstone Outfitting to anyone who seeks a real backwoods hiking and camping experience in a landscape that will take your breathe away.

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.

I have traveled twice with these folks, each time for a week outing. Maggie and Yve could not be more capable, informed, helpful, organized, and delightful guides and companions. Our first trip was a customized trip to Scapegoat Mountain for a week in July 2015 with 6 guests. The second trip was 5 days along the Front in June 2016 with 10 guests. Their knowledge of the wilderness areas is exceptional. The love they have for what they do is contagious. Please be assured that choosing them is the wisest choice even if this is your first time into the Bob Marshall wilderness complex.

I went with Dropstone summer 2016 on a 7 day pack trip to the Northern Chinese Wall. Maggie and her staff were very professional and accommodating. Good food, too!. A once in a lifetime trip. I plan to go again next summer. Thank you Dropstone!

Dropstone is an amazing outfitter. Their guides are top notch - super attentive to the guests and make you feel at ease while providing an amazing wilderness experience.

We have done a number of trips with Dropstone and have loved every one of them. The best part is the staff. By the end of the trip I felt like they were family. They were kind, friendly, caring, and fun. They spent time preparing us for the trip, gave us detailed descriptions of each days adventures and told us how to be safe and alert in the wilds. One of my favorite activities was going on "Maggie meanders" (my name for walks led by Maggie). We would be camped in an area and Maggie would take us exploring for a day. She'd share a little history, point out plants, talk about the area we were in and just make it fun.
