Banff - Bow River Ride


Ride along the tranquil Bow River, an area home to wildlife in amongst the thick marshes and grassy meadows. And if you look up, you might spot an eagle or hawk soaring through the sky.

Pass by the historic Cave and Basin – the birthplace of Banff National Park. Here, craggy rock walls surround pools of bubbling thermal water. And of course, as you follow the winding trail on this ride, you’ll get unspoiled views of the magnificent Rocky Mountains the entire time.

This is one of our most popular rides and is perfect for beginner riders or anyone who is short on time. Plus, you’re welcome to come to the stables ahead of your ride check-in time to meet our trail horses and ponies.

Note: Riders must be 8 years of age or older.
