4 Day Horseback Adventurer

Saddle up and explore the Alberta Rockies with Anchor D! We'll take you by horseback into our High Mountain Wilderness Camp situated at 6500 feet elevation, and completely surrounded by mountains. It is most of a day's horseback ride into this camp, offering canvas outfitter tents with cots and foam mattresses for guests, a bathroom tent and a large kitchen and dining tent.

Anchor D supplies all meals, starting with lunch on the first day, and ending with lunch on the last day. We supply everything for your trip but your sleeping bag and personal gear. Sleeping bag rentals are available.

Our High Mountain Wilderness Camp trips leave the ranch at 10 a.m. Monday mornings (please check dates below) from the first of June to the middle of September. We truck the horses up to the trailhead, load the covered wagon, get everyone on their horses, and hit the trail for the 12 mile ride through the mountains to our High Mountain Wilderness Camp.

Heading out in a different direction every day, there are several mountain lakes to ride to that are stocked with cutthroat trout; we can scout out a high mountain pass, riding up to 8500' elevation, where the Continental Divide opens up in front of you; we can explore Burns Canyon and climb up beside Burns Falls, which is the highest waterfalls in Kananaskis Country. In this area, four different mountain ranges meet - there is no end to the possibilities and adventure!

Riding through rivers, valleys, canyons and passes, we travel through some incredibly rugged country where you will gain a new respect for your sure-footed mountain horse. During the lunch stop, you might like to try your hand at fishing do some hiking and exploring, or go to sleep in the sun!

These horseback adventures will arrive back at the trailhead between 4 and 5 p.m. (that's "cowboy time") on Thursday afternoon.
