“Winding Trails & Wildflowers” a Women’s Weekend Adventure.

The adventure begins late Friday afternoon, a group trail ride for the early arrivals. Supper on an open fire once everyone has arrived. This evening we are hosting a wine tasting session. Saturday’s events include a group breakfast, then half the participants will ride and half can attend a photography tips session & nature walk with plant identification. The group will all be together for lunch and the the groups will switch, some ride and some attend photography & nature walk. Everyone arrives back at camp before supper with time to enjoy a little pampering if they wish. We have a massage therapist, a manicure/pedicure technician, and a warm pool to relax in, available all weekend for every one’s use. Supper will be cooked over an open fire while we all get some down time or we can go exploring if we wish. After supper we are having a mini “cowgirl rodeo” which involves events such as branding a plank, stacking some square bales, roping a dummy, hammering nails, starting a fire, etc. Once the friendly competition is done we have a campfire singer coming to enjoy around the evening fire. Sunday morning is a group breakfast and then one group rides and one group can attend a antique tips session. We switch the groups around when the riders come back and everyone gets a chance to attend everything offered. We will have a group lunch with everyone and say our goodbyes and thank yous for coming. The cost for this weekend adventure is $450.00/person and includes group tents with cots for sleeping, trail riding, 6 meals cooked over an open fire, snacks, information sessions, pampering time, and evening entertainment.
