Sample Itinerary
After meeting your hosts in the small town Caroline, we will head towards the Rocky foothills to reach our Base Camp after a two hour drive mostly over gravel roads. After getting settled in our cozy guest tents, which have a wood floor, wood stove and a bed with a foamy matress, it is time to get to know the horses before we enjoy a hearty dinner.
The next day we pack a lunch-picnic and head out on our horses, mostly Quarter-mix. The Base Camp experience is an adventurous riding opportunity which brings you closer to the horses and riding. The trails lead us through forests, flowery meadows, we cross clear streams and are watching the wild horses. Most evenings we spend around the crackling campfire, enjoying roasted marshmallows and good stories until the whispering Creek sends us to a good nights sleep, dreaming about the excitement of the next day riding through the canadian wilderness.
Feeling adventurous ? We got the right option for you - an excursion to our "Adventure Camp".
After the first night in Base Camp, the next morning after a cowboy breakfast we saddle the horses, load the covered wagon, hitch up the draft horses 'Mac' and 'Rocket' and head out on a six hours ride further into the canadian Rockies.
The Adventure Camp is located on a cliff above the Clearwater River surrounded by untouched wilderness, where human beings still play the second fiddle. The Adventure Camp facilities are similar to the Base Camp. We have a cook tent, a shower tent and as a special our TIPI-firetent. The only difference is the sleeping tents have outdoor carpeting instead of wood floors.
The trails lead us high up the mountains on 'Forty Mile Ridge', to the glacier lake 'Lost Guide Lake', to the border of Banff National Park and a lot more spectacular places where we can get a glimpse of a wolf, follow bear tracks and more...
If you are willing to experience more adventure in your riding and spend long hours in the saddle, the "Adventure Camp" is a 'Must-See-and-Do' experience!

It is no coincidence that visitor activities in Banff National Park are as varied as the Park's climate. A year in Banff National Park would give a visitor a taste of everything in terms of weather and recreation. The summer sees sunny, warm days for such things as hiking, biking, camping, and climbing. The winter brings crisp, snowy days for tracking, skating, and alpine and nordic skiing.

It is possible to make some generalizations about the weather in Banff National Park. July is the warmest, with average highs of 22°C in the Town of Banff. January is the coldest month with average lows of -15°C, though the mercury can drop into the minus thirties. The relative dryness of the air in Banff, however, makes even extreme temperatures more bearable. In winter, visitors must be especially careful of wind chill. A temperature of -20°C on the thermometer may feel like -30°C with the wind chill. Regardless of the season, the temperature will fall about 1°C for every 200m of elevation gain.

The length of the day in Banff varies greatly throughout the year. Daylight can last as little as eight hours in December. At the end of June, the sun rises at 5:30 am and sets at 10:00 pm.
