Ride past the Bow River and Cave and Basin into the forest

With your lead and tail guides, ride along winding trails through the Bow Valley's rugged terrain and green meadows. The route passes the tranquil Bow River and the historic Cave and Basin area with its bubbling hot springs, continuing to the Sundance Canyon Trail. As you ride into the dense forest of this wildlife-rich area, look out for elk, deer, and other animals.

Take in the Bow Valley from Windy Knoll on Sulphur Mountain

Ride up Sulphur Mountain to the Windy Knoll viewpoint, where sweeping views of the Bow Valley and the Canadian Rockies open up. On the way back, return to Warner Stables, dismount, and give your horse a pat to finish the tour.
