Explore the Backcountry in Comfort

Consider a multi-day lodge vacation!

You get to travel on horseback along a historic pack trail that winds through the craggy Sundance Range, venturing to places most Banff visitors never get to see. At the end of each vista-filled day, you can unwind at a comfortable backcountry lodge.

Trip duration: 1-5 nights, depending on the package

Lodge Vacations are perfect for:

• Those with at least basic horseback riding experience
• People who love the outdoors – but want to spend evenings in rustic comfort

“The views were spectacular as we went up the mountains, through forestry where we were the only 3 people for miles around”.

Check out our hourly trail rides!

From a covered wagon trip that ends with a steak cookout to a half-day journey climbing Sulphur Mountain, Banff Trail Riders has lots of different tours to choose from.
