Itinerary
See Banff National Park from a different perspective — 6 or 7 feet up from the back of a friendly horse. Meet your guide, get outfitted with your horse, and receive a safety briefing. Then head out through the park on horseback on a 3-hour guided tour.
On the 3-hour Bow Valley Loop Ride you’ll ride along the Bow River and through the Cave and Basin area – the birthplace of Banff National Park, where you will find bubbling sulphur waters and remarkable rock caverns. Head along the Sundance Canyon Trail and keep an eye out for beaver, elk, coyotes and occasionally, bears before climbing up Sulphur Mountain to the Windy Knoll viewpoint, where sweeping views of the Bow Valley await. This is definitely a trip you’ll want to bring your camera for.
