Alberta Horseback Riding Vacations Photo Journey
Remote valleys, high alpine lakes, towering peaks, prairie grasslands and mountain passes... this is some of the remarkable scenery you may discover on a horseback riding vacation in Alberta, Canada.
Exploring in and around Banff National Park, Canada's oldest national park, is a once in a lifetime adventure, filled with beautiful nature and interesting wildlife, including grizzly bears and wolves. Many riding vacations in this area take travelers to remote backcountry camps and historic lodges, allowing you to truly get away from it all. Vehicles are restricted in this part of the world, meaning horses are the best way to get into nature.
