Boundary
Of all the Back Country Horsemen Chapters in the USA, our boundary touches the most wilderness areas!
Our Chapter
Covers Gorgeous High Country
Who We Are
Passionate equine 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 and horse, mule, and burro lovers who advocate for equestrian access to public lands and assist with trail maintenance to keep the trails open for all user groups.
We want to connect you to other passionate equestrians!
Are you new to trail riding or backcountry riding and want to connect to an experienced mentor? Are you a backcountry-savvy equestrian who wants to encourage others to hit the trails? Email mountaintrekkersbch@gmail.com and we will connect you to a local trail partner!
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.

Wilderness Rider Champion
Congratulations to Jennifer Downs, our 2020, 2021, and 2022 Champion Wilderness Rider! Jennifer rode in all 7 wilderness areas that our boundary touches during the summer season for three years in a row and won a custom silver belt buckle from Montana Silversmiths each year.
The Wilderness Rider Competition was suspended in 2023 due to lack of interest.
I know, we can't believe it either!
If you ride in any of the 7 wilderness areas that our boundary touches, send your photos to mountaintrekkersbch@gmail.com and we will share them on social media.
