Get to Know Us
We are a local small business, family-owned and operated, own and have raised a majority of our horses/mules. A.J. Brink Outfitters has been in business since 1975 and Jim and Adrienne worked for the outfitter for years prior to purchasing the business.
We provide all custom trips and we’ll take one rider on a trip or larger groups as booked. Our terrain allows for a different experience on each ride we offer, you could ride here many times and never see the same landscape!
We are surrounded by the White River National Forest and Flattops Wilderness, as well as BLM on all sides.

How to Get Here
A.J. Brink Outfitters is located right at Sweetwater Lake.
***An important note: You will be changing counties about half way up Sweetwater Rd. At that point the addresses start over in numerical order. Many people believe they have gone too far and turn around. They have not, which is why we explain the “full 10 miles” thoroughly.***
