Banff Trail Riders

Rugged mountain scenery and an abundance of wildlife. That’s what you’ll find on the 3-day Sundance Explorer ride. And when the sun sets, you’ll be relaxing in pure backcountry comfort. Cowboy style. This adventure takes you along the glacier-fed waters of the Bow River, one of the best spots in Banff to spot elk, deer or even moose roaming along the shores. Follow the historic Storm pack trail, travelled by renowned explorer Erling Storm in the early 1900s, while taking in awe-evoking views of the Sundance mountain range. At night, the cozy Sundance Lodge gives you a surprisingly comfortable spot to rest your head. Snuggle by the fire, devour gourmet backcountry cuisine and swap tales about the day’s adventures with your fellow riders.

Explore untouched stretches of Rocky Mountain wilderness  – without having to ‘rough it.’ Imagine riding through postcard-perfect alpine scenery, where the only folks around you are the guides and your fellow riders. In 6 unforgettable days, you’ll venture past grassy ridges, charming meadows and tranquil rivers – spots where elk and deer are easy to see. Plenty of side trips are also available, depending on conditions. This might include journeying to the headwaters of Stoney Creek to watch bighorn sheep graze in the meadows. You could also head up to Block Mountain to take in spellbinding mountain scenery. The camps you’ll be staying in go far beyond rustic. Curl up in an A-frame canvas tent set on a raised wooden platform and listen to the sounds of the forest as you drift asleep. In the morning, freshen up at the wash stand (complete with hot water) and then enjoy a meal prepared for you in the giant kitchen tent.
