“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.”
— Helen Keller
At Women’s Quest, we don’t just visit wild places — we enter them… and re-wild ourselves.
The Grand Tetons are one of the most magical landscapes on earth. At sunrise and sunset, the peaks blush and turn deep violet — as if the mountains themselves are breathing.
We stay just over the pass at beautiful Moose Creek Ranch in Victor, Idaho — a peaceful, tucked-away haven beneath wide western skies. From this grounding home base, we step fully into adventure every single day.
Hiking trails that open your heart.
Yoga that steadies your center.
Bike ride with the Grand Tetons as your backdrop.
Farm-to-table meals shared under big starry nights.
This isn’t about escape.
It’s about expansion.
And a return to your “One Wild and Precious Life “— mountain-strong, open-hearted, and a little more untamed than when you arrived.
What Are the Accommodations?
Our home base is the beautiful Moose Creek Ranch — a serene and inspiring property just outside Jackson Hole. It’s the perfect place to both relax deeply and explore boldly.
The ranch features:
A welcoming lodge and restaurant
A charming retail shop
An on-site adventure outfitter
A heated swimming pool
Access to exceptional horseback riding (if you can find the time!)
You’ll stay in spacious private cottages nestled in a wooded setting just a short walk from the main lodge. These cottages are incredibly roomy — each with two queen beds and an additional living room area, giving you plenty of space to unwind and recharge after our adventurous days.
Single rooms are available for an additional $1,200.
What Will the Food Be Like?
The food will be the BEST — vibrant, nourishing, and deeply satisfying.
Breakfast: Energizing morning meals at the lodge to fuel our adventures.
Lunch: Scenic creek-side picnics as we explore the Tetons.
Dinner: Organic, farm-to-table cuisine enjoyed outdoors at Moose Creek Ranch.
Our meals are lovingly prepared by our incredible private chef, Jenna Barnes, whose creations will leave you nourished on every level — physically, emotionally, and energetically.
Two meals are on your own (OYO):
1 Lunch in Jackson
1 Dinner at Moose Creek Ranch featuring their artisanal pizzas, prepared fresh on site
What Weather Can I Expect?
Jackson Hole in August typically brings:
Daytime: 70–80°F
Evenings: 40–50°F
Mountain weather can shift quickly, so please bring a lightweight waterproof rain jacket for afternoon showers. Layering is key in the Tetons.
Am I in Good Enough Shape to Do This Retreat?
Most likely — yes!
We thoughtfully adapt to all levels of fitness. You may choose to:
Walk or hike
Walk/run
Run
We offer a variety of trail options and group women according to fitness level, experience, and personal goals. Cycling routes are generally easy and mostly flat, with the stunning Grand Tetons as your backdrop.
We encourage you to begin moving consistently before the retreat so you can fully enjoy the experience. It does not need to be a hard-core program — simply get out, play and be active several days a week so your body feels strong and ready.
Do I Have to Participate in Everything?
Absolutely not.
This is your retreat. You are invited to do as much or as little as feels aligned in the moment. We fully support you in pacing yourself.
The schedule provides a sense of flow for each day and is always subject to change based on:
Weather
Group needs
Energy and conditions
We review the daily schedule together each morning at breakfast.
Is There Free Time for Massage?
Yes — and we take massage seriously.
We bring in our amazing massage therapist, Christina Russell, who offers sessions for an additional fee (Price TBD). This is a beautiful way to deepen your recovery and relaxation between adventures. There are only a few slots available.
Tell Me About the Yoga?
Each Women’s Quest day begins with our signature “Awakening the Senses Yoga.” If we get up to hike early we will practice yoga in the afternoon. They YOGA is for every ability level and super fun! (Plus you will need it)
This gentle Yoga practice blends inspiration from:
Gyrokinesis
Qigong
Tai Chi
It prepares your mind, body, and spirit for the day ahead. Some days we hike early and enjoy a restorative afternoon session to stretch, soften, and integrate the experience.

Highlights include:
The peaceful Phelps Lake Trail at the foot of the Tetons

Cycling toward String and Leigh Lakes, where we can swim at welcoming alpine beaches with the Tetons as our backdrop.
Every trail offers awe, empowerment, and connection — to nature and to each other.
