Women’s Pack Trip
August 2027
JOIN US IN WYOMING
August xxx-xxx, 2027
We are excited to introduce our new Women’s Pack Trip, an opportunity to experience horseback riding, horsemanship, and life deep in the Wyoming backcountry. This trip is designed for those who share a love for horses, adventure, and the outdoors, and are looking to experience the wilderness in a way that few people get to.
Traveling on horseback into the Bridger-Teton Wilderness, guests will spend their days riding through remote mountain landscapes, exploring trails far from the crowds, and experiencing the traditions of backcountry travel. Along the way, our experienced guides and crew will share their knowledge of horses, mules, packing, and the skills that make these trips possible.
Guests will travel with our pack string to a remote wilderness camp, where accommodations include traditional canvas tents and freshly prepared meals. Days are spent exploring the surrounding country on horseback, while evenings offer time to relax, share stories, and enjoy the company of a small group of fellow riders.
This trip offers the opportunity to spend extended time in the saddle, build on existing riding skills, and gain a deeper appreciation for the horses, people, and traditions behind wilderness outfitting. With over 70 years of experience guiding trips into the Wyoming backcountry, our family looks forward to sharing this special part of the West with a new group of guests.

Our basecamp is located about an hour and twenty minutes from Jackson. We are based in the Bridger Teton National Forest, about five minutes from the South Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. We’re right between Yellowstone and Grand Teton, which makes it easy to access both parks while staying in a more quiet, backcountry setting.
There is a gas station and convenience store at Flagg Ranch about four minutes by car from our camp. Colter Bay is 30 minutes from us.
We’ll send detailed directions and arrival info ahead of your trip, and you’re always welcome to give us a call if you have questions getting here.

Bears do live in this area, but it’s not something you need to be worried about. Our camp is set up with bear safety in mind, and our crew is trained and experienced in operating in bear country. We handle all food storage properly and keep a clean camp, which is the biggest factor in preventing issues.
It is extremely rare to see a bear near our camp, and when you’re out riding or exploring, your guide will walk you through what to do to stay safe. We’ll also explain all bear safety protocols when you arrive so you feel comfortable and prepared.
We have bear spray on site that can be borrowed by our guests during their stay.

Because our pack trips take place deep in the wilderness, bathroom facilities are simple and rustic. At camp, guests have access to a private toilet setup with a seat over a designated hole in the ground. We also provide a hand washing station with soap for guests to use throughout their stay. While there is no traditional plumbing, we do our best to keep the facilities clean, comfortable, and private. Please contact us if you have any questions about the bathroom arrangements.

Expect to spend several hours in the saddle at a time. We’ll take breaks along the way, but this is backcountry riding over varied terrain.
We can accommodate a range of riding levels, however some previous experience is highly recommended. If you’re a complete beginner, we encourage you to get some time in the saddle through lessons or trail rides before your trip. A little experience beforehand can help you feel more comfortable and confident and get the most out of your time here. Please call us with any questions!
Before we head out on the trail, we’ll pair you with a horse based on your riding experience, comfort level, and personality. Our horses know this country well, and riding with them lets us take you into places you simply can’t experience from the road. You’ll ride through remote backcountry, cover varied terrain, and experience the Greater Yellowstone Area from a perspective few visitors ever get to see.

Weather in the Greater Yellowstone wilderness can be unpredictable, even during the summer months. Days are often warm and sunny, but temperatures can drop significantly at night, especially at higher elevations. Afternoon thunderstorms, rain, and even occasional snow are possible throughout the season.
We recommend coming prepared for a variety of conditions and bringing layers, warm clothing, and waterproof gear. Our trips operate rain or shine, and our experienced crew is accustomed to navigating changing mountain weather. We’ll provide a recommended packing list ahead of your trip to help you prepare.
Generations of Backcountry Trips
Pack trips have been at the heart of Wilderness Trails since the beginning. Our family has spent generations traveling through the Greater Yellowstone wilderness with horses and mules, and we’re proud to share the knowledge, traditions, and experiences that have shaped the way we operate today.
Our Women’s Pack Trip offers a unique opportunity to experience this way of life alongside a small group of women who share a love for horses, adventure, and the outdoors. From long days in the saddle to camping in remote locations far beyond the roads and crowds, this is a chance to experience a side of Yellowstone that few people ever get to see.
We believe there’s tremendous value in these experiences, especially when shared with others. Our hope is that guests leave with more than memories of beautiful places, but also new friendships, a greater appreciation for the wilderness, and a connection to a way of life that has been passed down through generations.
For over 70 years, Wilderness Trails Outfitters has been a family run operation, welcoming guests into the heart of the Greater Yellowstone backcountry.
Nestled in the peaceful meadows of Sheffield Creek, our camp is surrounded by towering forests, rugged mountain ridges, and wide-open skies. Guests enjoy comfortable canvas wall tents, freshly prepared meals, and the opportunity to experience a quieter way of life surrounded by wilderness.
Our crew is at the heart of everything we do. From our guides and wranglers to our cooks and camp staff, each member of our team plays an important role in making every guest’s experience special. With years of backcountry experience, a genuine love for the outdoors, and a shared dedication to our horses and guests, our crew brings camp to life. They’re the friendly faces around the dinner table, the helping hands on the trail, and the people who make a stay with us so memorable.

Riding horses through Yellowstone and the stunning Bridger Wilderness was unforgettable - the views were breathtaking, and it felt like stepping into another world.Beyond the scenery, what made this trip so special were the people I met along the way. The camaraderie, laughter, and shared adventure created connections I'll treasure forever.”
— Arlyne, Cowgirl Camp 2025“Wilderness Trails runs a fantastic operation. I'm an active equestrian with many years of experience and was looking for something other than the typical nose-to-tail tourist rides. I found Wilderness Trails via another social media site's equestrian sub and was very glad I did! This is the outfitter I will absolutely return to on my next trip to Teton.”
— Laurel R., 2025“What an amazing amazing place and wonderful wonderful people! Alison and her team made mums dream of a lifetime come true - riding through the mountains and some!
