Banff - Sulphur Mountain Ride


You’ll ride two thirds up one of Banff’s most iconic mountains, visit a famous landmark hotel, spot elk or coyotes in the brush and then cross the tumbling Spray River in this half-day adventure.

From snow-capped mountains and sparkling waterfalls to roaring rivers and thick alpine forests, this trip takes you from the bustling Banff town-site to the peaceful wilderness just a few miles away.

See the renowned Rimrock Resort Hotel, and then trek down to the valley for a short break along the lively Spray River. Water and a light snack are provided.

After a well-deserved rest, you’ll cross the Spray River and ride along the base of Mount Rundle – where you’ll enjoy stunning views across the valley and of the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. Then, pass by the immaculate fairways of the Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course. You’ll continue on to the roaring Bow Falls to cross the river again before heading back.

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

Bow Falls - Breathe in the pine-spiced mountain air as you approach the roaring Bow Falls.

Cross the Spray River - The most unique feature of this trip is crossing the tranquil Spray River. On hotter days, your horse may even decide to cool itself off by splashing water onto its belly – it’s an experience unlike anything else.

Sulphur Mountain - Climb two thirds of the way up Sulphur Mountain along wooded trails past the famous Rimrock Resort Hotel and underneath the gondola.

Mount Rundle - On the descent you’ll ride along the base of Mount Rundle to the Bow Falls and cross the Spray River once more.
