Overview
See Banff National Park from a different perspective - 6 or 7 feet up from the back of a friendly horse. Meet your guide, get outfitted with your horse, receive a safety briefing and then head out through the park on horseback on a 1-hour guided tour.
On the 1-hour Bow River Ride, mosey over to natural sulphur hot springs, one of nine spots in Banff where hot springs flow. Then follow the trail, which loops around a marsh and follows the gentle Bow River. Admire views of Mt Norquay and Cascade Mountain in the distance as you ride.
The 1-hour Spray River Ride gives you a great introduction to the untouched wilderness as it passes roaring Bow Falls, the famous Fairmont Banff Springs Golf Course, and crosses through the tranquil Spray River.
