Bow River (1 hour/ $43 per person) this is a scenic route, which is very flat. This ride is very nice and relaxing, going through the forest then along the side of the Bow River where the mountains and river are very pretty to see. It is great for beginners because it is nice and flat.

Spray River (1/hour $50 per person) This one is a little more adventurous and a little less scenic. This ride goes across the Fairmont golf course, it has 2 river crossings, and it goes a little further up Sulphur Mountain. I think choosing this one will depend on how comfortable your riders will be crossing rivers. Departs daily on the hour from 9am-5pm.

Sundance loop (2 hours/ $78 per person) Departing from Warner Stables, our cowboys will lead you pass the natural sulphur hot springs flowing from the Cave & Basin and along the Bow River. Fantastic scenery surrounds as you climb up Sulphur Mountain around the Windy Knoll viewpoint. The ride loops around the marsh, following the Bow River, bringing you back to Warner Stables.  You will cross two rivers, so some horse riding experience would be helpful.

We will need to organize vehicles to get to the stables in Banff.
