Cowgirl Weekend

Saddle Up for the Ultimate Girls’ Getaway

JULY 31-AUGUST 2, 2026

APRIL 10-12, 2026 (BOOKED) & JUNE 19-21, 2026 (BOOKED)

Kick off your boots and grab your best gals for a weekend where the spirit of the West meets pure, unapologetic fun.

From the moment you arrive Friday afternoon, the adventure begins with a warm meet‑and‑greet, followed by a relaxed dinner where everyone can settle in, socialize, and start building those cowgirl‑strong connections.

Saturday starts with a hearty breakfast to fuel the day, leading into a safety and instructional session designed to boost confidence and prepare you for the trail ahead.

Then it’s time to ride — a scenic back‑country adventure complete with a saddle‑bag lunch and plenty of moments to soak in the beauty around you. After a day on the trail, unwind and enjoy dinner together that evening.

For those who just can’t get enough time in the saddle, Sunday offers an optional ride to round out the weekend with one more taste of wide‑open freedom.

This is your chance to live boldly, laugh deeply, and embrace your inner cowgirl — one unforgettable moment at a time.

WHAT TO EXPECT

A TRUE MOUNTAIN RETREAT
Expect fresh air, changing weather, and the peaceful rhythm of ranch life. Temperatures can shift quickly, so layers are your best friend.

RIDING EXPERIENCE
We ride in most weather conditions, and the trails vary depending on the day. Bring clothing that keeps you comfortable in sun, wind, or light rain.

COMMUNAL LODGING
The lodge is warm, rustic, and shared. Solo travelers may be paired with another guest — it’s part of the charm and connection of the weekend.

There’s a Roku TV with a Blu‑Ray player in the great room. Since there’s no Wi‑Fi, you can stream using your cellphone hotspot if you’d like.
