This is not your average dude ride, silver spoon guest ranch or lodge stay; this trip might very well push you out of your comfort zone (in the best way!)  On our women’s specific trip, we’ll ride deep into the Montana backcountry on horseback with a string of mules and horses in tow. We’ll pack loads, swing panniers, and cover big country together. Camp will be set up near a mountain stream. You’ll get to experience nights in a walltent —unless you wish to roll out your sleeping bag and sleep under the stars next to the campfire. 

We will meet you where you are with your horsemanship and packing skills, providing guidance for all levels. At camp, it will be all hands on deck caring for the horses and mules, tending to the fire, and making meals.  Be prepared to come away with riding, packing, and essential backcountry knowledge that will help grow your confidence both in the mountains and the saddle.

You’ll have ample free time to spend as you please; whether that’s hiking, fishing, hanging with the horses, taking a dip in an alpine stream, or picking berries (if we find them!) 

This is more than a getaway—it’s a chance to venture deep into the backcountry and rediscover your strength, your spirit, and your belonging. It’s time to cowgirl up and head to the mountains!

All INCLUSIVE | $2900 if you apply by 12/25/25

This trip going to be so special. It’s been on our heart to offer a faith-based couples trip that will take you deep into the Montana backcountry where you’ll no doubt feel close to God – and each other. We’ll ride into the mountains with a pack string made up of horses and mules and spend a few days camping. Joining us is Pastor Stephen Masters, and his wife Kyleigh, who serve at a non-denominational Christian church that we absolutely love.  

This is a mix of wild western fun intertwined with powerful work. It is not your average dude ride, silver spoon guest ranch or lodge stay; this backcountry experience might very well push you out of your comfort zone (in the best way!) It will be all hands on deck caring for the horses and mules, tending to the fire, and making meals. We will meet you where you are with your horsemanship and packing skills, providing guidance for all levels. Be prepared to come away with riding, packing, and essential backcountry knowledge that will help grow your confidence both in the mountains and the saddle. We will weave in moments of spiritual intention including short devotionals, guided reflection, prayer, and conversation while also giving couples ample free time to spend as they please. Maybe you choose to: fish, hike, take a dip in an alpine stream, hang with the horses, or sit fireside under the wide western sky.

We are limiting the group size to keep this a small, intimate and intentional experience. We’ve witnessed God do some of his best work in the mountains and can’t wait to grow in faith and lean into our relationships together.

All INCLUSIVE | $5,700 if you apply by 12/25/25

The Packer’s Program is not a dude ride — it’s a backcountry education. This course is designed for you to learn the ins and outs of packing stock and the do’s and don’ts of the backcountry. Hosted by veteran outfitters and guides, you will learn it all. Days are spent working stock, swinging panniers, and riding into rough country. This trip is designed for you to get hands-on training in the skills every backcountry cowboy/cowgirl, hunter, and horseman should know. You’ll be exposed to real-life situations as we cover new terrain, set up, move camps and tend to animals. Expect to learn everything from mannying loads, tying new knots, packing all shapes and sizes to leading a pack string, managing stock in the backcountry, human and horse safety and everything in between. You won’t just learn how to pack—you’ll earn the confidence to travel deep into mountains and bring it all back out again safely.

We choose to take this program, often seen in a parking lot, to the mountains. We put an emphasis on real-life experience. To build your confidence, we want to expose you to as much as possible and we also want to provide you with an adventure that you’ll never forget. When the work is done, we’ll sit around the campfire with good food and the camaraderie that comes from earning it together.

All stock & gear provided.
