The Ultimate Horseback
Vacation! Backcountry Trail Rides at West Range Cabins and
Homeplace Ranch Start your holiday by arriving in
Calgary at Homeplace Dude Ranch.
Your first day of riding will be spent in the high cattle
country of the Canadian Rocky Mountains and foothills. The
Homeplace Ranch is nestled in the high foothills of the Rockies
between Banff and Calgary. Homeplace Ranch can accommodate
14-16 guests in private rooms with private baths, plus western
style living and dining area with wood burning stoves and
an outdoor hot tub.
A horse is given to you
when you arrive. Our cowboys will spend time showing you how
to become comfortable and work with your mount. You have the
option each day of riding for the full day or half day. Riding
varies from mountain valleys to high foothills, crossing numerous
streams, meadows and old Indian trails. You can take circle
rides each day from the Ranch, just to enjoy the scenery and
solitude. Though you may choose to spend all your time at the
Ranch itself, there are many things to do and see around the
area. Trips by car, to Banff, Calgary, Spruce Meadows or Head
Smashed in Buffalo Jump, fishing, golfing & whitewater rafting
can be easily done, using the Ranch as your home base. You might
like to take in an afternoon polo game or shopping in Calgary,
or enjoy the whole day riding with lunch on the trail around
the campfire with cowboy coffee.
The next leg
of your holiday begins at Horseback Adventures.
After your last day
at the Homeplace Ranch, jump into your car and prepare yourself
for the breathtaking drive up the Icefield Parkway to Brule
(Jasper). You will take part in a 4 day horseback trail ride
cabin vacations at West Range Cabins located in the Rock Lake
Solomon Creek Wild Land Provincial Park along Jasper National
Park north boundary.
Experience the beautiful backcountry of the Canadian Rockies
without leaving all of the comforts of home. All “Real
West” Cabin vacations depart from our ranch in Brule, Alberta.
We ride up the trail, crossing Solomon Creek and climbing high
to come out on a ridge overlooking Solomon Creek with a beautiful
view of Solomon Valley, the first range of the Canadian Rockies.
We ride through aspen forests and along the mountain trail,
descending down to the valley floor arriving at West Range Cabins.
During your horseback adventure,
we will ride up to the top of Paradise Ridge, a fantastic high
mountain ride, you will see views you only dream about. We will
ride into the headwaters of Solomon Creek on an ancient trail
with several creek crossings and through pine and spruce forests.
This horseback vacation is for the soft to medium adventurer
and for all rider levels to enjoy.
