Horseback trail rides, vacations and pack trips in Jasper National Park.

For the last 37 years, it has been our pleasure to uphold the back country tradition of riding through the Canadian Rockies. Our in-town rides are ideal for those with just a day or so to catch hold of a little of the west. You can travel along the Bow River, or up onto Sulphur mountain. Our backcountry rides are perfect for people of all ages and abilities, who have a little more time to spend in the rockies with us. We have something for everyone, tenting or lodges from two to six days.

Leave behind deadlines and schedules and trade them for fresh mountain air, a good horse, and a trail that leads you to one spectacular view after another. Wake to the bugling call of a bull elk or the tantalizing aroma of pan fried trout. We'll take you to the perfect spots for once in a lifetime photos, mountain stream fishing and viewing wildlife in its natural habitat.

We're easy to get to!

Holiday on horseback is conveniently located and easily accessible from anywhere in the world. Banff with its fabulous back country trails and wilderness is just 75 miles from the city of Calgary and its well-served international airport. Getting to Banff for your riding adventure is a scenic two hour drive or bus ride from the airport. Click here for detailed access information.

Calgary is also the home of the famous Calgary Stampede, the world's largest rodeo and western show, held every July. Plan your Holiday on horseback to connect with a visit to the Stampede!

Adventures of all kinds!

Our rides are perfect for people of all ages and riding abilities. With over 300 head of horses, we'll provide you with a sturdy, sure-footed mount to match your experience. Our professional, cowboy guides will give you an inside look at western culture and provide you with enough good times to create a week full of memories.

Holiday on horseback offers a style and duration of ride to suit every taste and level of experience.

Wilderness Tenting Trips: From three days to six days. Spacious A-frame tents, fire pits, rustic rail corrals, and a large kitchen tent at each camp site. There's usually time for some exploring, fishing and even a well deserved snooze in the tall grass.

Lodge Rides: A little luxury in the back country. The day is spent riding and exploring, but the evenings are spent in a cozy lodge. Roughing it the civilized way.

Adventure Expeditions: Our most challenging and rugged trips. New camps are established daily, and we visit isolated areas of Banff National Park that few have an opportunity to experience. Brush up on your camp skills too.

Local Rides: Half day and full day trips in and around Banff townsite, including cookouts, covered wagon rides, and winter sleigh rides.

Other Holidays: Cross-country ski trips to the Sundance Lodge, sleigh rides and more.

The combination of mountain air and a day out on the trail usually stirs up a mean appetite, and our cooks are ready to meet the challenge. Breakfast and dinner are sit-down affairs, and lunch is served picnic style along the trail. Belly up to the table and enjoy the fresh, mouth watering, ranch-style menu. But, don't forget to leave room for our ample selection of home-baked desserts!
