How Adventurous Are You?

Deep in the heart of the Alberta Rockies, the Lost Trail Trip explores trails that don’t see much more than elk and big horn sheep. This is not a ride for beginners.

Join us for a fun-filled seven day horseback vacation, with an explore- as-you-go attitude. We will use a team and wagon to haul camp in, then truck the horses and riders to different areas during the trip to expedite the jump from one mountain area to another. We are going to ride the highest and wildest areas we can find.

All your meals are taken care of, from the first day’s lunch to the last day’s lunch. The meals are wholesome and there’s plenty of it, home-made by our professional back-country cooks.

The horses are awesome and surefooted, the meals exceptional, and the company is fun!

Please check in for your trip at the ranch at 9:30 a.m. on the first day.

Please note that while we highly recommend helmets we do not supply them because they need to be professionally fitted, so if you wish to wear one or have your child wear one, you will need to bring it with you.

We’ll explore some rugged trails and breathtaking scenery in the Rockies. Journey beyond the familiar as you get to know your horse and ford the frontier.

We supply all your meals, starting with lunch on the first day, and ending with lunch on the last day. We provide the horses, cooks, wranglers, guide, tents, cots with foam mattresses, all your meals and snacks – everything but your sleeping bag and personal gear.

Please pass on my thanks to all involved in the Lost Trail week. I had a great time and Bandit was lovely-hope he's well? Having thought about it all year, it looks like I might be finally getting a horse again after 5 years without - must have been persuaded by Bandit!

Hello! It is strange to be back in NS again! so many great memories of our time with all of you there in Alberta. We wanted to thank everyone for the fabulous adventure that we had and in particular mention how good it was to have all of the gluten free meals for Peter (not to mention the faboulous cooking in general). It was all much appreciated. Please pass that on to Kelly, Amanda, Pablo and Dewy.
