Meet the Pioneering Western Women of Alberta

To some, being completely disconnected from the world seems intimidating. But to the horseback riders of Banff Trail Riders, this is their refuge, their value system, and simply put, their way of being.
Every year, Banff Trail Riders hosts a group of strong, independent cowgirls -- many of whom are alumni queens and princesses of the Calgary Stampede -- on a trip deep into Banff National Park’s backcountry, into areas far beyond where even the hardiest of hikers go and where cellphone networks are a distant memory. Where only a horse could take you. On these trips, the women unplug, commiserate with nature, and reconnect -- to the strength, independence and community values of the women of the west that came before them, and the values they now carry forth. And while Alberta’s rugged Rocky Mountain landscapes aren’t for the faint of heart when explored on your own, the women of Banff Trail Riders will have you feeling like you were born to do this your whole life.
