Banff, 3-Hour Bow Valley Loop Horseback Ride

Embark on an exhilarating 3-hour guided horseback ride through the scenic countryside of Banff National Park. Witness panoramic vistas of towering peaks, dense alpine forests, serene rivers, and rugged cliffs as you traverse these natural wonders.

Upon embarking on the guided tour in Banff, a member of the riding office welcomes you with enthusiasm and provides you with a helmet before escorting you to your waiting horse. You proceed to walk out into the radiant sunlight, greeted by your steed as you set off on a three-hour journey along winding paths through the picturesque Bow Valley. The trail traverses through the rugged terrain and expansive grasslands, passing by the serene Bow River and the bubbling thermal waters of the historic Cave and Basin area. As you continue, you approach the Sundance Canyon Trail, offering an enchanting view of the surrounding wilderness.

The route takes you deeper into the dense forest, teeming with wildlife such as elk and various other creatures. Your journey concludes at Sulphur Mountain, where you reach the Windy Knoll viewpoint. Here, you can enjoy panoramic vistas over the majestic Bow Valley. After reaching this breathtaking location, your small group makes its way back to Warner Stables. There, you disembark from your horse and receive affectionate patting from the animal companion of your day.
