The "Great Divide Ride" is a very popular trip.
It's a 7-day moving trip, using two teams of draft horses and covered wagons to
transport the food, camp and duffle to the three different camps you stay in
during the trip. While the wagons roll through the lower elevations, the
horseback riders hit the high mountain trails that take you high above
timberline,
past
tumbling mountain streams and through stands of virgin timber. By the time you
get to the next camp, the mess tent is set up and a welcome cup of hot coffee is
ready for you.
Check in for your trip at 9:30 a.m. on the first day American Round-Up recommend staying nearby the night before which they can book for you. As in our other packages, all your meals are supplied, starting with lunch on the first day, and ending with lunch on the last day. Included are the horses, cooks, wranglers, guide, tents, cots with foam mattresses, all your meals and snacks - everything but your sleeping bag and personal gear.
Deep
in the heart of the Alberta Rockies, we are going to explore trails that don't
see much more than elk and big horn sheep. This is not a ride for beginners.
Seven
day horseback vacation, with an explore-as-you-go attitude. A team and wagon to
haul camp in, then truck the horses and riders to different areas during the
trip to expediate the jump from one mountain area to another. You will ride the
highest and wildest areas to be found.
All your meals are taken care of, from the first day's lunch to the last day's lunch. The meals are wholesome and there's plenty of it, home-made by our professional back-country cooks.
The horses are surefooted, the meals exceptional, and the company is fun!
