Pioneer Adventure

Multi-Day Horseback Riding Trip

7 days | Group up to 8 | Ages 6 – 80 | All Experience Levels | Balanced & Active Riding

Endless mountain views, glistening lakes, and skies that stretch for miles—welcome to the Pioneer Trip, where every day is about taking in the most spectacular scenery around. From our cozy cabin camp, we ride up to some of the best viewpoints, capturing the raw beauty of First Nations land that we’re grateful to explore. It’s a privilege to experience this place on horseback, with its landscapes full of fossils, wildflowers, and incredible wildlife, like grizzlies, deer, and grouse.

“ And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul”
— John Muir

On the first day, we’ll ease into the adventure with a ride from the lodge to a nearby waterfall, giving you and your horse time to get to know each other. It’s a relaxed start, with the trail winding through beautiful scenery and setting the tone for the days ahead. After that, we’ll head up into the mountains, where each day brings new viewpoints, fresh trails, and breathtaking landscapes that only get better as we go.

This area has been part of our family’s story for years, with countless memories made along these trails. In the evenings, we’ll gather around the campfire to share stories and enjoy the simple pleasures of nature. You’ll be sleeping in tents around the cabin, or if you prefer, we can make it cozy for you inside the cabin as well. Our space is authentic, and we love to keep things simple and nice rather than luxurious. After a day of unforgettable views, kick back at the lake with a canoe ride or relax in our little sauna by the shore. If you’re looking for a true mountain escape, this trip has everything you and your whole family need to make it one for the books.
