A Call For The Wild At Heart
Have you always wanted to go on a riding holiday but don’t want to do any fast riding?
We now have dates available for our Canadian Rockies Lodge Trail. This trip takes in some of the mosty spectacular scenery seen on any of our trails and is a total sell out every year.
Ideal for all levels of rider including beginners or those who have never been on a horse. The pace is walking-only ad the trail takes place in the vast back country of Banff National Park in Canada.
Travel high into the wild mountains and valleys of the Canadian Rockies on this adventurous pack trip in the Banff National Park. This is a pack trip where youโll travel from lodge to lodge with towering snow-capped mountains on three sides. Ideal for all levels of rider, however a good head for heights is necessary, the trail takes you up to over 8,000 ft for some truly spectacular views.
You will be staying in two different lodges while on the trail, first a secluded, warm and cosy lodge at the edge of the mountain range. Complete with solar power and a wood-burning stove for a crackling evening fire. Hot showers and electricity are available here, although neither of the lodges has internet or wifi.
The middle three nights of the trip will be spent at Halfway Lodge set at the base of the Allenby Pass. It was built in the 1920s for riders on their way to Mount Assiniboine and is a truly remote sanctury in the mountains.
No previous experience is necessary for this ride, guides are happy to teach beginners the basics that they will need for the trip. The riding is all done at a walk and the horses are well trained and used to the trails. A good level of general fitness however is required and riders should have an adventurous nature and be happy and fit enough to spend between 4-6 hours a day in the saddle. Children aged 9 and over are welcome on the trail if accompanied by an adult.
