Creative Western Adventures
Creative Western Adventures Winter Tracks: Enjoy a day of snowshoeing or take your backcountry skis and explore – The quiet beauty of winter in the Rockies is a delight to explore on snowshoes! The snow acts as a canvas, recording the tracks of snowshoe hares, pine martens and even the occasional lynx. There are hidden secrets too: beneath the snow pack are hibernating grizzly bears and a vibrant winter ecosystem fueled by mice and voles. With the naturalist guide you hike from the wilderness lodge through the calmness of forests.

Horse Pack Trips and Trail Rides in Alberta
Experiencing nature by taking a horse pack trip through the stunning scenery of the Canadian mountains can be a soul-searching, fun, and unique experience. Horse pack riding adventure trips vary in what they offer to vacationers in regard to comfort level and daily activities. A typical horse pack trip includes daily trail rides that are led by an experienced guide but some may offer the freedom for some independent riding. A common element of horse pack trips is mixing the trail rides with other nature activities such as fishing, canoeing, or hiking on foot.
