Fabulous experience. - Fabulous experience. Lovely sure footed horses, I felt very safe. Comfortable saddles of course!. The 4hr ride was very hilly in parts. Glad I'm an experienced rider as it was easy for me but I think a non rider would struggle. The staff made it easy and safe,very enjoyable.

Sulphur Mountain 4 hour horseback trail ride - Great afternoon spent up in the Rockies horseback riding. Our guide was very informative, chatty and friendly. The ride itself takes you along winding (sometimes steep) ups and downs but the horses are so sure footed and calm that even the lesser experienced rider feels comfortable. The views are wonderful and you are surrounded by stunning nature. Loved every moment and highly recommend Banff Trail Riders and their team.

Wonderful Sulphur Mountain Ride! - This was such a great experience. Our guide Dakota was wonderful. I can’t say enough good things about this ride. I was a little hesitant because we ride our own horses and this is a “head to tail” ride. That turned out ok because a lot of the ride was on very narrow trails on the side of the mountain. I felt super comfortable on my horse “Mountain” and he knew his job. I was free to take pictures and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We had an unexpected treat when we came up on a herd of elk. The horses were well taken care of and seemed happy to do their jobs. Great outfitter and I hope I can come back one day and ride with them.

Excellent way to see Banff countryside - A good, longer trail ride. Bailey was a great guide, with lots of good knowledge and stories. Once in the mountain, we were all by ourselves. We got some elevation with some good views, but also snacking on the river down in the valley. Crossing the river was fun, and got to see Bow Falls. Even saw a bear! Horses were well behaved and easy to guide, and everyone in our family of four had fun.

Wonderful scenery and very enjoyable guides! - Had a wonderful ride along the ridges of Sulphur Mountain and Mount Rundle with Nicki and Flossie as my guides. The views were amazing and my horse was a perfect gentleman. I highly recommended this tour for those wanting to spend a bit more time in the saddle. The four hours passed quickly.

You NEED to do this! - Probably the best way to start your trip in banff. Our guide was incredible and very personable and answered all of our questions. Even if you have never been on a horse you can do this. Very safe and 10/10 would recommend.

Real adventure and sights - A 4 hour horse ride on a real mountain trail is a challenging, physically exhausting affair. With that said, it is also an amazing experience. The narrow trails wind thru mountain with steep slopes down along the left side. Thankfully, the horses don't want to fall off the mountain so both rider's & horse are safe. Twice we cross the river and when you make it back to the town of Banff, you will be greeted with travelers taking your picture like a movie star. I guess the pretty horses just invite a picture. Oh, the Black Bear we passed just off the trail (and next to the 18th hole on the golf course) was exciting, too! Prepare to have sore legs the next day from the ride.
