Sundance Lodge sits on the original site of the horse corral for Ten-Mile Cabin,
built by the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1920's. The cabin itself remains
standing and is a National Historic Site. Your day begins with a transfer to the
Martin Stables just over the Bow River from Banff where you will meet your
fellow riders and be introduced to your horse. Today's 16km (10 mile) ride takes
you into the backcountry of the Rocky Mountains via the glacier fed Bow River,
Healy and Inbound Holiday Creeks. You will take a break along the trail for lunch, and
dinner is at the lodge. Overnight at Sundance Lodge.
DAY 02
Sundance Lodge sits alongside a gentle curve on Inbound Holiday Creek, with the
Sundance Mountain range as a backdrop. Built entirely with fir logs, the lodge
has 10 sleeping rooms, a large country kitchen, and a cozy living room area
where you can curl up by the woodstove and lose yourself in a good book.
Overnight at Sundance Lodge.
DAY 03
It's time for your return to civilization. The 16km (10 mile) ride retraces your
route back to Banff, and is a leisurely ride. Be sure to keep your camera handy,
the views as you head down into the valley are outstanding.
