Horseback Riding

Horses near Merritt

Explore this region's spectacular countryside of rolling hills, shimmering lakes, spectacular canyons and magnificent parks either on your own or with a guide. Guest and dude ranches abound here: at the end of a hard day's riding, soothe saddle sores in everything from rustic lodges to luxurious spa ranches. The region also offers many opportunities to watch professional cowboys do their thing: check out the Falkland Stampede as well as the rodeos in Armstrong, Keremeos and Salmon Arm.
 


Cache Creek, Ashcroft & Merritt

  • You'll feel at home on the range, here, thanks to sagebrush-covered hillsides, spectacular cerulean skies and first-rate guest ranches that cater to both experienced riders and wannabe cowhands
  • Ranches are many and varied: some offer the basics plus easy access to outdoor adventures such as canoeing and fishing; others allow you to wallow in luxury, offering all sorts of wonderful amenities, such as spa treatments, welcomed after a hard ride.

Clearwater

  • Ride trails along rocky bluffs overlooking the breathtaking Clearwater River Valley. Dismount for a short and worth-it hike to Moul Falls
  • In Wells Gray Provincial Park, you can take an easy, afternoon trail ride or for the more adventurous, a multi-day packtrip into seldom-seen backcountry
  • View hoodoos - unique lava rock formations - from the saddle or combine horseback riding with a whitewater rafting trip on the Clearwater River.
