Poker Trail Ride

The Poker Trail Ride helps fund the Tough Enough to Wear Pink mission of funding breast cancer awareness and support in Montana. The Poker Run will be based on Five Card game, nothing wild, with the opportunity to have a one-time, one-card draw at the end of the ride for an additional $5.00 fee or an additional toy donation. In the event of a tied hand (s), there will be a one-card deal until the best hand wins. NW Poker Rides, Trail Riding & Horse Camping has 1,644 members. Here is a group for posting Poker Rides, Trail Rides & Horse Camping! Feel free to post poker rides, trail rides & camping sites, or ask questions. Let us know the good & bad. There will be no drama allowed, no badgering others, no putting others down, no harassing, no bullying.

2020 OETRA Calendar

In the beautiful Tahoe National Forest, Gold Country Trails Council hosted one of the oldest and best attended Poker Rides in northern California. In addition to being the main fund raiser for the Trails Council, it provided a memorable event to meet old and new friends, eat wonderful home-made food, and win loads of exquisite prizes!

These dates are subject to change due to weather and/or conflicts with other rides across the state. Please contact Janis Baldwin (secretary@oetra.com) to add others rides and activities. More details will be added in. This is the master calendar and a link is on our Facebook page.
Rides marked with *asterisks are considered our ‘Big Rides’ and usually require a small fee to participate. Fees cover the costs of food, drinks, prizes, etc. If the state or federal websites are hard to navigate, be sure to go to Trail Systems and look up the park. There are probably some helpful instructions!
