Welcome to HRO Adventures!
I’m Rusty Hunt, and this is my wife Jacquie, we are the Founders of Hidden Ranch Outfitters.
We cordially invite you to look at our new business venture, HRO Adventures.
From the time my Great Grandfather “Homesteaded” Steamboat Rock, our family has been working and hunting this special place we call home, the upper Columbia Plateau. In addition to farming and ranching, for over twenty years our family has specialized in providing guiding and outfitting services for the pursuit of large game, upland game birds, waterfowl and predators. As private landowners ourselves and providing Wild Game Property Management Services for dozens of private landowners within a 50-mile vicinity of Grand Coulee/Electric City, WA we are excited to announce the expansion of our operations under HRO Adventures.
HROA Recreational Access Permits are the Sportsman’s ticket to an oasis of prime private and public hunting access.
Operating at the confluence of Banks Lake, Rufus Woods Lake, Lake Roosevelt and the Columbia River, pick your adventure.
