Easily accessed from Vancouver, the Sea to Sky Corridor in British Columbia is famed for its breathtaking views, soaring mountain ranges and pristine wilderness. There is NO better way to get under the skin of this incredible region than on horseback.
Horses are etched into the region’s history, from the horse-loving Lil’ wat Nation to the prospectors who relied on horses as they mined the mountains. Most of your hosts’ horses were bred by the Lil’́wat Nation, making them perfectly suited and accustomed to the often challenging local terrain. They are level-headed, tough and gentle, ready to show riders how it’s done in BC.
Based at a comfortable riverside campsite, every day brings new trails and new adventures, from exploring an early 1900s gold mine to circumnavigating alpine lakes amidst towering rocky peaks. The sweeping vistas will have you singing ‘hallelujah!’ and the tranquil forests will fine-tune your senses to nature’s intricate beauty.
In just five days, you’ll fall back in love with Planet Earth and these remarkable creatures with whom we explore it.
