Cowboy Cookout by Horseback 3hr

The tour runs for three hours, which includes two hours of horseback riding. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to your tour start time.

Please meet at the Banff Trail Riders Stables, the big red stables located at the end of Sundance Road in Banff. The stables are located approximately a five minute drive or a 20 minute walk from downtown Banff, and there is plenty of free parking at the site.

Please ensure that you arrive 30 minutes before the ride is scheduled to depart.

You must wear sturdy, closed toed shoes enclosed to the ankle and long pants are best for riding. Please note that sandals of any kind are not permitted. Helmets are provided and are mandatory for all riders and mosquito repellent is highly recommended.

No experience is necessary and if you’ve never been riding before then we’ll be sure to pair you with the perfect horse so you can enjoy a comfortable ride. Our guides will also provide a brief riding instruction prior to the ride.

Pregnant ladies must have a doctor’s note to ride.

Horseback rides run rain or shine, so please dress for the weather. Please do not wear a rain poncho, as they can flap in the wind and spook the horses.

The tour is a three-hour horseback ride along the Bow River, past the historic Cave and Basin site, along the Sundance Canyon Trail, up Sulphur Mountain and the Windy Knoll viewpoint. You will be provided with a brief riding instruction, a helmet, a friendly horse, and lead and tail guides riding at each end of the small group.
