While enjoying our wilderness location, there are inherent risks and hazards - riding horses, encountering unpredictable animals, fishing in remote areas, canoeing, hiking, and life on a ranch in general, all pose the potential for an accident. For this reason, we require that you visit and ride at your own risk, and sign a liability waiver and release form. |

It’s directly on route and halfway between the west coast highlights of Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler, and the touring hotspots of Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper.
