ABOUT THIS REGION  WESTERN - COWBOY VACATIONS

Visit two working ranches in scenic Alberta

Spend an adventuresome few days taking in the ranching activities of 2 spectacular ranches in scenic southern Alberta. Learn horsemanship, how to ride, rope, handle cattle and then take a trail ride or perhaps even a cattle drive into the back country where the scenery never ends! A learning experience of cowboy life and caring for livestock is important to your hosts. It would be their pleasure to help you "live the west", not just read about it!

At the first ranch your hosts will teach the basics of riding & roping. Stay in a fully self-contained historic log cabin below the Rocky Mountains and enjoy self-catered meals from a daily stocked fridge. For the second half of your holiday, you will visit a second ranch. Spend the rest of your adventure in the scenic Porcupine Hills of southern Alberta riding and working cattle. Enjoy ranch cooked meals and relax in a private new pine log cabin. This package also includes two day trips to some spectacular sight-seeing locations in the area.
