This was definitely manageable for someone who has never ridden a horse before! There are inclines and declines along the way, but that was part of the fun. We did have rain the whole time so not the best views, though I bet it would be beautiful. Regardless, they had long raincoats for us to borrow, explained the horseback riding well, and it was a lovely activity!
Our tour was great BUT it was an extremely narrow, rocky, muddy and rough trail. If you’re a first time horse rider, I would not recommend this trail. I have not been on a horse in 20 years, and if I had known that the trail was going to be this rough, I probably would’ve chosen an easier one somewhere else. Like most other comments here, I could not hear anything since I was all the way in the back. I Would suggest that management come up with some sort of communications device so people in the back can hear. The trails were very narrow and very steep going up and down, which was quite nerve-racking. I did enjoy the first hour to be honest, but after that it got pretty harrowing. Not sure what’s going on with the older lady at the front desk, but she was a little bit on the rude side… not terribly friendly, and seem to be annoyed. The tour guide was very happy, friendly and helpful, as well as all the female tour operators/cowgirls. Enjoy the beautiful scenery overall. Would have just chosen an easier trail if one was available.
I'm a retired widow from Florida and brought my two horse loving granddaughters to Alberta, Canada. We did a week's worth activities. This was the last one before we left to go home and saved the best for last. Our guide was Jocelyn who was very personable, explained where we were the different mountains landscapes animals we might or might not see. She took amazing pictures when we got up to a plateau area of us on the horses with the mountains behind us. Also a fun part, taking selfies with horses which the girls, ages 12 and 14 loved. A bonus: we met a young man who was working there who went to the same high school in FL as my grandson does . . . small world.
Ruby was our guide and she was awesome! The trail was beautiful with beautiful views of the mountains! Although it was a walking horse ride, there was steep incline and declines and turn backs which made it more fun..
Fantastic day in the mountains! Such a great adventure with breathtaking views. Beginner friendly; the wonderful staffs and horses helped us enjoy the ride all the way through!
It was a great experience. I loved my horse Moe, he was really cute and sweet! Also a big thanks to Diego, he is a really great guide. :-)
Guide was great and very informative. They go rain or shine, but they have rain wear available. There is a nice little gift shop on site and quaint coffee shop.
Amazing views and a picture taken by our guides using our own phones with the mountains as the backdrop. The horses were very well-trained and easy to ride. The staff was very informative and helpful.

Very fun experience the view was amazing the guide was friendly. We saw 2 deer during our trip and a group of 🦬
My horse, Harley, bucked me off!! That said, it was still a really fun ride. Randy, the ride guide, was cool & collected while managing the situation. I'm really no worse for the wear and I'd ride Harley again.
The mountain ridge ride was captivating and the horses were so well-trained.
However, Boundary Ranch should consider providing options for transport back as not every traveller drives.
We had a great ride. We went out as a smaller group of 6 with our guide Sarah. We went through beautiful forest scenery and then out into a clearing with fantastic views of the mountains. Horses were great and the ranch grounds were very pretty.
Everything. The sights, the ride, the guide. The hole experience was wonderful . We will be back soon. Thank you everybody at the ranch.
Beautiful and comfortable ranch! 🤠 The friendly staff and helpful guides made my experience unforgettable. 📸 The delicious meal with a stunning view was the cherry on top! 😍 Can't wait to visit again!
Beautiful scenery and wonderful team members. Everyone was friendly and gracious. We went for two hours, which was perfect for our family, but may get long with younger children.
We had a fabulous ride. The horses were well mannered and quiet. The views were spectacular from up on a ridge overlooking the valley. The ride through the forests was peaceful and quiet. Other than the group behind who never stopped talking and laughing loudly. I would definitely do this again.
Great experience! I loved the horses, they seem so well taken care of. Thank you to our great guide, Genevieve!
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our ride. Everything was very organised and the staff were lovely. The trail and views were incredible! Amazing experience that I rent for a long time
I loved that there were a few rough terrain spots of the trail ride and that the horses did not feel so rote that you feel like you’re riding a machine. There was some guidance and direction needed for the hoses that made me feel engaged and like I was having a real experience without being in over my head. The photo opportunity was very appreciated since I was travelling on my own. I loved the knowledge our guide shared about the area, ranch life, horses and more. The ranch is stunning and overall it was a beautiful experience!
Friendly staff, sweet horses and great views. Charlie was a great trail leader. Highly highly recommend!
My sister, niece and I had a fabulous time. We are experienced horse women and the guide matched up to perfect mounts. The scenery was amazing and the guide, Fran, kept us entertained. Would give this experience 10 stars if I could.
Fantastic trail ride.
Abigail and Megan were awesome wranglers and guides and not only told us about the ranch and its history but also about the landscape and region in general.
The two hour ride was great and varied from flatland to dense forest and a ridge climb with amazing views.
We'd love to come back and experience some winter things as well.
