Experience a trail riding adventure vacation, deep into the heart of the Rocky Mountains. High Country offers three unique packages:

Traditional Trail Rides for Groups & Families: Wilderness trips take you back to basics where there's time to connect with your family and friends. The trail ride is geared to let even your youngest "cowpoke" live the days of old. You will be matched with a reliable trail horse. You can expect a warm smile and a friendly handshake as we pass this way of life on to you.

Exploratory Expeditions: Explore the Canadian Rocky Mountains "secret places" where no one has been for "quite a spell". Northern Willmore Wilderness Park, north of Jasper National Park has been inaccessible for years. The expeditions are hands-on for the more adventuresome individual who wants to take part in finding, clearing and restoring old packtrails. For more info go to PackTrails.com
