Boundary
Of all the Back Country Horsemen Chapters in the USA, our boundary touches the most wilderness areas!
2021 Wilderness Rider Champion
Congratulations to Jennifer Downs, our 2020 & 2021 Champion Wilderness Rider! Jennifer rode in all 7 wilderness areas that out boundary touches during the summer 2020 season and won a custom silver belt buckle from Montana Silversmiths.
Compete For Your Own Custom Silver Belt Buckle
Competition runs May 1 - December 1, annually.
The best social distancing challenge ever... open to members only! Winners receive a custom buckle from Montana Silversmiths.
Okay, okay, we have to verify our bold statement... but... to the best of our knowledge, Mountain Trekkers' boundary touches the most wilderness areas out of any BCHA chapter. The goal is to ride in all 7 of our wilderness areas. Please RECORD YOUR RIDES IN THE GAIA GPS APP, available in all app stores. This request is new for 2022 and will help us better track your rides.
The ride does not need to be within chapter boundaries, simply within that wilderness complex. Mileage breaks ties; a round of Black Jack breaks ties if final mileage and number of wilderness complexes completed creates a deadlock.
Please reach out to us for detailed rules! The competition is heavy.

Who We Are
Passionate horse & burro fans
Mountain Trekkers is a local chapter of the Colorado Back Country Horsemen and the Back Country Horsemen of America (BCHA). We are a devoted group of equestrians & burro lovers who advocate for equestrian & burro access to public lands and assist with trail maintenance to keep the trails open for all user groups.
Our "Burro Division" is growing, we aren't just horse-focused!
What We Do
Provide social & educational opportunities
The Mountain Trekkers Chapter works in Colorado Parks & Wildlife’s Area 8 which includes the Holy Cross Wilderness, Eagles Nest Wilderness, Hunter-Fryingpan Wilderness, Flat Tops Wilderness, and the White River National Forest. We plan trail maintenance projects with management agencies such as the United States Forest Service and Colorado Parks & Wildlife, host equestrian social events, host equestrian education events, and advocate for trail riders–all while having ridiculous amounts of fun.
