Weight limit

This pack trip is maximum of 3 moves. Moves are when we pack up at the camp and each day move to different locations, i.e. move in, move to another camp, move back to the first camp and trail or move out on last day.

We take pride in our well-trained horse string and skilled guides and cooks. True to Alberta’s spirit, our meals feature only the finest Alberta beef, farm-fresh produce, hearty lunches, and delicious dinners. Food plays an essential role in the experience, and we celebrate every meal together.

We are truly looking forward to hosting you in the heart of Alberta!

Staying at cabins is extra cost and optional on arrival and departure days!

We share our experience with those who have a keen interest in what happens in Alberta's high country and ranchlands. 40 plus years have given opportunity to build a cowherd, dog pack, good horse string, build some nice cabins, organize good equipment, map out unbelievable trails, find qualified staff all the while calling it our lifestyle. Over the 40 years much has changed but the constant is our love of what we do. Welcome to our world and we will endeavor to share our best.

This tour is suitable for beginner and intermediate riders.

Equestrians should have no serious health issues and must be able to get on and off by themselves.

!! On multi- day moving trips we ride to the least of the ability and certainly don`t make this a marathon for either riders or horses.

about tour

We had literally the best experience! We were greeted with smiles and a lot of knowledge about saddles, getting to know your horse. I have horse backed with a lot of companies and this experience was by far the best. Thank you again, we will definitely be back!
