Off the Map: Horseback Riding in the High Sierra Nevada Wilderness
After you enroll, we’ll ask you to provide or update your personal information and preferences, which includes your health information, lodging and meal preferences for your program.
Additional information is needed to match participants with the correct horse/mule. For your convenience, we have created an online form that can be filled out on any mobile device or computer. The link can be found in the Recommended Websites section of your pre-program information packet. We expect it will take less than 5 minutes to complete. At the bottom of the form there is a submit button. After submitting your form, you will have the opportunity to “submit another response” if you are traveling with someone in the same household. At the end of the form is a link to a waiver. Rock Creek Pack Station, the entity that will provide the horseback trip during this program, is required by its insurance carrier to obtain signed liability release waivers from all participants who participate in the horseback activities. Copy and paste the following link or see "Web Links" Section of the preparatory materials. https://fd2.formdesk.com/na18/RCPS_Registration The two forms are also included in the back of these materials. If forms are done online, please print and mail in signed forms. The form must be completed online, completed form must be printed, sign printed form, and mailed to Rock Creek Pack Station PO Box 248, Bishop, CA 93515 Photo ID
