Cowgirl Camp

Cowgirl Camp 2024

Three long weekend options taking place throughout Yellowstone and the Teton wilderness.

About Camp

Cowgirl Camp offers a unique opportunity to ride in remote wilderness, learn backcountry skills, and connect with other incredible horsewomen.

We have partnered up with Brianna Albright (@loki_toki) and Briana Malmquist (@pipers_zoo) to provide fellow horsewomen the incredible opportunity to ride in the most inaccessible land, learn backcountry skills, build connections with other outstanding women, and gain fierce wilderness independence.

Each weekend is limited to 10 participants. Sign up for the waitlist and contact reservations@wildernesstrailsinc.com for questions!
