Horseback Riding in Banff
To truly connect with the essence of Banff National Park, explore the old-fashioned way. Astride a capable steed. Greet your horse and climb on to settle deep into the smooth leather of your riding saddle. From here, find the rhythm of the gentle swaying motion as you follow your trail guide away from Banff along riverside paths and wooded trails. Let your mind drift away with the sights, sounds and smells of the forest as you travel smoothly along rolling trails at the edge of the wilderness.
