Discover Kananaskis Country on Horseback
Kananaskis Country is a forest reserve of 4,200 square kilometers stretching from the foothills to the Continental Divide. Throughout most of Kananaskis motorized vehicles are prohibited, so horse and foot are still the only ways to see the country. In the east, bordering the ranch country of Western Alberta, the foothills range from 4,500 feet to 5,000 feet above sea level. Along the Continental Divide, higher peaks exceed 11,000 feet (3,300m) and remain snow covered throughout the year. The fast flowing rivers issuing from the mountains are crystal clear, having never passed a house or road.
Many species of big game call this country home: elk, bighorn sheep, mountain goats, mule and white-tailed deer, cougars, black and grizzly bears. Spotting these magnificent but elusive animals is an extraordinary treat.
A full day on horseback will give you the opportunity to experience the varied terrain and ecology of the region.
