Anchor D Pack Trips
The Mid-West
working Ranch
Anchor D is located just to the south west of Calgary, they offer a number of both moving Pack Trip Adventures and camp based trail rides into the eastern section of the Rocky Mountains.
Anchor D have been offering horse back riding holidays and trail rides for well over 30 years.
They escort small numbered groups into the mountains that lie to the west of the ranch.
The 4 day adventurer trips are based in their camp in the Sheep River Valley. They also offer 2 night weekend trips here.
The 7 day trips are moving trips, teams and wagons are used to carry the camp gear and duffels. These include the Great Divide Ride which goes into the Highwood Range and is one of their most popular ride, and the Lost Trail trip for experienced riders only!
4 day trips - from Intermediate to Experienced Riders
7 day Great Divide Ride - Intermediate Riders
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 two different camps you will 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 following the Continental Divide between Alberta and BC. By the time you get to the next camp, the kitchen tent is set up and a welcome cup of hot coffee is ready for you.
7 day Lost Trail Ride - Experienced Riders
Heading out in a different direction every day, there are several mountain lakes to ride to that are stocked with cutthroat trout; riding up to 8500′ elevation, where the Continental Divide opens up in front of you; explore Burns Canyon and climb up beside Burns Falls, which is the highest waterfalls in Kananaskis Country.
In this area, four different mountain ranges meet – there is no end to the possibilities and adventure! Riding through rivers, valleys, canyons and passes, travel through some incredibly rugged country where you will gain a new respect for your sure-footed mountain horse. During the lunch stop, you might like to try your hand at fishing do some hiking and exploring, or go to sleep in the sun!
The terrain covered by these rides is mountainous so you should be able to ride uphill and down with relative ease. You will ride for some distance each day so their recommendation would be that you are an Intermediate rider except for the Lost Trail Ride where Anchor D ask that you are an experienced rider due to the far more challenging terrain covered.
While out on the rides, you will experience the wonder of the Canadian Rockies. The Anchor D staff will be there to look after and guide your trip. There may be the occasional opportunity to fish in a high lake, otherwise just immerse yourself in the beauty of the place.
Each tour begins at about at 9:30 a.m. on the first day when you check in at the ranch. Anchor D will supply all your meals, starting with lunch on the first day, and ending with lunch on the last day.
