Experience the romance of the old west with professional Alberta Outfitters!

Just imagine thrill of riding horseback through scenic mountain passes. Experiencing the serenity of sitting by an open campfire, watching the rays of the setting sun as they light up the snow capped mountains.

Outfitting has been a way of life in Alberta since the 1800s. Outfitters explored, developed and opened-up much of this part of the country. Many of today's outfitters are the children and grandchildren of these early explorers. Today you'll still find a warm handshake and what we call, "true, down to earth, western hospitality".

Alberta is a land of diversity. It is big, beautiful, wild and sophisticated. Majestic mountains, rolling foothills, gentle prairie. Modern cities, small towns and untouched wilderness. Clean lakes, rivers and streams. Wildlife galore... elk, moose, deer, bear, trout, eagles and hawks. An horizon that goes for as far as the eye can see. During the summer the weather is warm. At night the sky is clear and full of stars.

Nothing you have ever done, no vacation you have ever taken will live up to an Alberta horseback vacation. Along every trail, around each bend and on top of every mountain and hill, there is a story to be told, a sight to see and an experience to be remembered.

The best way to experience Canada's Rocky Mountains in Alberta is on horseback. Take a western vacation in style with a Canadian Cowboy Outfitter. Whether you are visiting Banff, Jasper, Kananaskis, Waterton, Willmore Wilderness Parks, or other locations in the Canadian Rockies, make sure you enjoy the magnificent scenery on horseback. Book an old style trail ride and explore the mountainous country. Packhorse trips offer a wilderness experience you'll never forget.
 

Discover Adventure... the cowboy way!
 

            It's like our forefathers said..."treat people right and give 'em your best."
 

We promise you...we will !
