Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies - Banff, Alberta

What a great experience for people who haven't been around horses and cowboys much, looking for something different. Getting a little too old for the horseback, we two seniors opted for the wagon ride. It is a special event we will never forget mainly due to the wonderful staff. They see to your every need. Fantastic ride, wonderful scenery, great food, great company. You have to do this!

The trail ride (2024) was absolutely great (horses, wranglers & extraordinary cook from Boundary Ranch, especially my stubborn palomino Dave & Wrangler Rachel, MC Carol from the trail riders, beautiful scenery in the Kananaskis). I want to come back for sure (perhaps self-organized this time)! But in the photographs they concentrate a bit too much (in my opinion) on the longtime members (photographers & photographed people) of TRCR ...

Great guides, lovely camp spot. Good food. Look after their horses.

Last year was my first trail ride and was I impressed!! At age 65, I thought I may be too old for this, but at least one person was more than 20 years older .

The meals were great the people were great and the set up was great.

Above all, the ranchers that provided the horses and took us on the rides, were above and beyond. Each rider is matched to a horse and with little or no experience on my part, I couldn't believe the attention to detail and safety. The first day I mentioned I was sore in my groin and the next day, the saddle was adjusted so that uncomfortable feeling was gone thereafter.

Each ride, the scenery was spectacular!! Each ride had a bit of a challenge to it, so experienced riders were not bored. One of our riders even had a swim in a glacial lake !!

A spectacular very different summer vacation for a person from Ontario.!!

Last summer was my first experience with the Trail Riders of the Canadian Rockies. What an amazing experience! Great people, great scenery, great horses. Now I understand why John Denver wrote "ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH."
I will certainly be back again for the summer 2016 ride in Waterton National Park.

How can you go wrong with the mountains, the excellent outfitters and the super pairing of horse and riders......but it happens. The "gourmet homecooking" missed the mark. We were hoping for some local fare and great alberta beef. As did the camping facilities. The hot showers seemed to be too much trouble and or weren't working. Never have I gone camping and not had campfires in the evening but excuses ranged from too tired or it was too hot. Side bar.....it is not hot at night in the mountains.
We loved the Rockies but the whole package certainly didn't live up to it's promisses and was overpriced for what was provided.

One of the greatest weeks of my life. My wife and I both rode horseback for six days throughout the backcountry of the mountains. Great food, campfire sing-a-longs, breathtaking scenery, horses... what else could you want?

The best of the best! and an historic group from the days of exceptional service and hospitality. The best part is they do different trails throughout the Rockies
