Mystic Saddle Ranch

Mystic Saddle Ranch is a family-owned and operated company that has been offering guided horseback excursions since 1969. Our journey began with Max Bitton, who pursued his passion for horses and the outdoors of Idaho. As the rules and regulations of the area changed, Mystic became an established outfitter, operating on a special use permit in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area and Sawtooth Wilderness.

Max passed along his love of horses and outfitting to his only son, Jeff, who bought the company in 1980. Jeff and his wife grew the company in the years that followed. Mystic had now become a household name in the Sawtooth Valley. Families who had grown up riding horses at Redfish Lake or doing pack trips brought their families back to Stanley to share these same memories with an outfitter they trusted.

In 2009, Jeff hired a young couple by the names of Mathew Cain and Rebekah Alseth. They instantly fell in love with the area and the company. Jeff mentored and nurtured those passions, encouraging them to pursue a life of guiding, hunting, fishing, and outfitting. Today, Mystic Saddle Ranch continues to offer guided horseback rides, wilderness pack trips, and guided hunting trips, providing unforgettable experiences for families and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
