Claire led us on an afternoon guided hike through beautiful pine and birch forests which then opened up into a vast grassy meadow where the blue skies seemed to stretch for miles. The marsh areas house various bird species that are monitored by Ducks Unlimited Canada. We passed by Sucre Lake where a Red-Tailed Hawk screeched then gracefully glided through the sky and disappeared amongst the pine trees. This unique ecosystem is perfect for bird watching.

After only a brief exploration of the Hills Health and Guest Ranch and its surrounding property, it’s hard not to be humbled by the extent and range of activities offered throughout the year for those wishing to embrace the great outdoors. We were excited to learn about hiking, mountain biking and horseback riding available once the snow had cleared, and shocked when Pat informed us that the Ranch had much to offer when the snow had fallen, as well.
Tube runs serviced by a t-bar, ski and snowboard runs and terrain park, and a vast network of cross country trails will keep the outdoor recreationalist busy while waiting out the winter. And with no need to transport your own gear as the Ranch offers an ample line-up of ski, snowboard and mountain bike rentals to its patrons.
