Dave Hettinger, with 40 plus years of outfitting and guiding experience, offers daily trail rides in the mountains during the summer and big game hunts on horseback during the fall. Trips take place in the Wind River Range and the Southern Absaroka Range which is part of the Yellowstone Ecosystem. It is Dave Hettinger Outfitting’s (DHO) privilege to offer people the chance to experience life in a true western setting and continue an American tradition of horse travel and hunting in the Rocky Mountain West.

We hope you enjoy this poem written by Daronda Hettinger.

THE HIGH LONESOME

Listen to the silence, feel the wind caress your hair
Watch the antics of an eagle or the travel of a bear
Smell the sweetness of pine needles warmed by sunbeams dancing frail
Reach down and touch a flower as you pass along the trail
We’d like to have you join us, share our campfire, food and fun
In God’s country, the Rocky Mountains, a place we call High Lonesome
