Banff Trail Riders, a Designated Travel Partner, offers backcountry horse packing expeditions, providing guests with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the outdoors with the luxury of a warm comfortable lodge and home cooked meals. On our Canadian Geographic Adventures partnered voyage, guests embark on a 6-day, 5-night horse packing trip including incredible trails at Allenby Pass and a wilderness escape to Halfway Lodge. We’ll be joined by a Canadian Geographic Ambassador who will offer insights into the RCGS and Canadian Geographic alongside local Banff Trail Riders guides on this trip of discovery through the Canadian Rockies.

Halfway Lodge & Allenby Pass — June
Departing:
June 02, 2023
Sky-piercing mountains stretch out across the landscape, their peaks crusted with ice and snow. The air is cool and fresh. And best of all, there’s an almost zen-like quiet out here. This is a typical day on the trail when you join our 6-day Halfway Lodge horseback adventure. You’ll pass by the shimmering waters of the Bow River, travel along a historic pack trail and then ride up Allenby Pass, where jagged rock formations line the route.
And although you do climb to an elevation of 8,100 feet on this trip, the terrain is gentle for the entire way. And for all the rugged scenery that surrounds you on this trek, the adventure itself is far from ‘roughing it.’ Unwind in rustic luxury at the spacious Sundance Lodge and later at the cozy Halfway Lodge – both are quintessential mountain cabins boasting comfortable beds, a crackling fire and some of the most delicious backcountry cuisine you’ll ever try.
