Backpacking in Alberta

Alberta's foothills and Rocky Mountain country are classic riding country, with operators offering everything from hour-long trail rides to multi-day backcountry pack trips and full guest-ranch stays. The right choice depends on your riding experience, how rugged a trip you want, and whether you are after a day out or a week in the saddle.

Access Adventures is reader-supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links, which means we may earn a small commission when you book through them, at no extra cost to you. We only point to operators and tools we would use to plan our own trips, and we are not paid to recommend any specific guide or outfitter.
