Route details

Day 1
Adventure Begins

Begin your journey with an early morning departure from Vancouver via our shuttle service or using your own transportation. Arrive at the ranch around midday and enjoy a delicious lunch.

Next, participate in a Horse Riding Orientation where we’ll pair riders with horses, adjust saddles, and practice essential horsemanship skills. You will learn how to saddle your own horse, fostering a sense of empowerment and independence throughout your trip.

After that, embark on an introductory trail ride to familiarize yourself with your horse’s abilities and the terrain you’ll be exploring.

In the evening, enjoy dinner while reflecting on the day's achievements, appreciations, and challenges during our review session. We’ll also provide a map orientation that highlights the unique features of the Chilcotin Ark, the conservation efforts you’ll be part of, and the trails we’ll navigate during our adventure.

Finally, spend the night in ranch accommodations, where you can unwind by the fire, stargaze, read a book, or engage in various ranch activities.
