ABOUT THIS REGION  HORSE PACK TRIPS

Interpretive horsepack trip into Banff

Spend your days riding through some spectacular scenery as your guide takes you on an interpretive and educational horsepack trip through Banff National Park. The wilderness is your classroom as you learn about the Canadian Rocky Mountain life zones and challenges faced in their management and protection. Your classrooms are the Montane, Sub alpine and Alpine tundra ecosystems as you travel through the passes and valley floor habitats of the Rocky Mountain front and main ranges. Relive the awesome geological forces which shaped the Canadian Rockies. Ride to mountain passes and glacial cirques where alpine larch, wildflowers and songbirds thrive in climactic regimes. Most memorably, share the habitat of protected park wildlife such as the grizzly bear and big-horned sheep.

Interpretive horsepack trip into Banff

No western adventure would be complete without a opportunity to hear about some of the more colorful people who have explored and developed our Canadian Rocky Mountains. At evening campfires, your guide will trace the evolution of Banff from the arrival of the transcontinental railroad to its present status as an internationally known protected area. Share some tall tales and cowboy poetry before turning in for the night.
