Very enjoyable experience

Review of: 2 Hour Banff Horseback Riding Adventure

When in Banff, if you get a chance, take in the Horseback BBQ. On our ride, we were guided by the nicest cowgirls. They were able to answer questions about the names of mountains, and types of wildlife we may possibly see.

Which ride is more scenic the Bow River Ride or the Spray River ride?

July 18, 2019|

AnswerShow all 3 answers

I went on the Bow River Ride and was disappointed because most of the ride was just through trees and maybe for 5-10 mins of it towards the end, we were walking along the Bow River and could see the mountains.
