V6 Pack Trip
May 1-4, 2025
Take an epic adventure exploring the 20,000 acre V6 Ranch
four days days exploring the spectacular landscapes of the V6 Ranch
What to expect
On the first day guests will meet at the V6 Blue Oak Camp where they will be paired with their horse for the duration of the ride. From there we will ride the low country of the V6 Ranch before heading up into the Diablo Mountain Range, climbing around 2,000 feet in elevation.
Get ready for meals cooked over an open fire, scenic sprawling views, great horses and lifelong friends. We will spend 3 nights sleeping out under the stars on some of the most remote and rugged landscape the ranch has to offer.
There is no electricity, no wifi, and very limited cell phone service available on the ranch. The perfect setting to unplug and relax. This is sure to be an adventure of a lifetime!
Accommodation
Bring a tent or sleep out under the stars! Guests provide their own camping gear, which will be transported for you to each camp.
Nights one and two guests will have access to bathrooms and running water. Night three guests will have access to bathrooms, running water, and hot showers.
There is no electricity, no wifi, and very limited cell phone service available at each camp. The perfect setting to unplug and relax.
Food
Nothing compliments a long day in the saddle like a great meal. Breakfast and dinner will be cooked by the V6 Ranch crew over an open oak flame on the V6 Chuckwagon. Lunch will be packed to enjoy out on the trail.
Enjoy meals like rib-eye steak and charred squash cooked over an open oak flame topped with chimichurri, fire roasted potatoes with wild black sage and garlic, and dutch oven peach cobbler.
