Kootenay Rockies Guest Ranches & Horseback Riding

Horseback riding in the Kootenay Rockies, Tourism BC photo

Guest and dude ranches in the Kootenay Rockies offer horseback riding on alpine trails, and outdoor adventure activities such as river rafting, hiking and fly fishing. In summer, some ski resorts in the region also offer horseback riding and trail rides.

For an adventure ranch experience, head to Three Bars Ranch, voted "Canada's Best Family Dude Ranch" in 2010 by Rustic Vacations, an international-based ranch guide. Go horseback riding, wrangle some cattle, and then follow up a day in the saddle with white water rafting or mountain biking.

Bull River Guest Ranch and Beaverfoot Lodge offer more rustic ranch experiences, with pioneer-style accommodations and backcountry surroundings.

Horseback riding isn't the only draw at a guest/dude ranch. Go swimming, biking and canoeing or watch bareback riding at a nearby stampede or rodeo.
