Experience the Beautiful Canadian Rockies of Banff National Park the Traditional Way, on Horseback

Horses are an important part of the history, not just of Banff and Banff National Park, but all of Western Canada and the Canadian Rockies. While trains and then the automobile replaced the venerable horse as the primary means of locomotion, riding horseback remains one of the most popular ways to enjoy the alpine scenerey to be found around Banff town.

There are several types of horseback trips to choose from.

Local rides usually last between 1 and 3 hours; here are a few favorites among others:

• Spray River
• Sundance Loop
• Bow River
• Mount Rundle rides

There are also overnight excursions with lodge accommodations lasting between 2 and 6 days; overnight camping/or tent excursions lasting between 2 and 6 days; and 6-day expeditions into more remote areas of Banff National Park.
