So much of CANADA is still unspoiled.
This site is designed to highlight a limited number of top quality vacation options in their respective field. Choose which companies you would like information from using our form. Once you receive your promotional materials look them over. Then we suggest that you speak to the operators themselves. Spend a few minutes learning the details of the packages only an operator can provide directly. Your travel agent is good for booking airlines, but they can never fully understand the adventures better than the operator.
Bar C Canadian Adventure Resort Alberta
Guest Ranch Adventures The western activities at the Bar C will educate and entertain you. Catch gold fever at our mining camp, saddle up for a wilderness ride, participate in a time honored tradition of a cattle drive, or join us for a wholesome western meal in the Black Bear Inn. Unwind at the end of the day by slipping into an outdoor hot tub.
Riding Our trail rides will take you through the most picturesque country you've ever seen! The duration of the ride depends on how long you would like to go. The rides are guided so there's no need to worry about getting lost. We have horses to suit novice or experienced riders. We have many options including overnight trips. You select what you are comfortable with.
Accommodations Offering 34 rustic but comfortable log cabins. The cabins are nestled amongst the trees and all are within easy walking distance of everything the Resort has to offer. The cabins feature a cozy fireplace as well as what you would expect in any other room. For that extra special treat try a night's accommodation in one of our authentic Sioux Teepees. They have a wooden floor, wood stove and propane lantern...
LAZY M RANCH, Central Alberta
The Lazy M is a working ranch with over 200 head of cattle. You'll feel at home on the range as soon as you arrive at the Lazy M. Whether you visit the first time for world-class trout fishing or the excellent horseback riding, you'll come back for the Hospitality, Horsemanship & Home Cooking - the "Cowboy Way". It's "country R&R," and the reason so many of our guests become regulars.
Fantastic view
view of the lodge 48k
The setting is rolling ranch country, with walking or riding access to miles of trails across meadows and pasture and through birch, spruce and pine woods. Soak up the scenery from the sunny deck, or while relaxing in the 10 person hot tub. Great conversation and an abundance of home grown, home cooked meals are enjoyed in the lodge. Coffee, tea and home baking are always on hand.
We take the time to match you with the right horse and can ride out with us to check the calves in the spring, or join one of the many short pasture rotation cattle drives we hold throughout the summer. Learn the basics of the working cow horse. Tips on horsemanship precede each ride and a fun practice in the corral is encouraged. Our rides are guided, but do not expect the standard "trail ride" experience at the Lazy M. Our cattle horses love the open country. You can lope across the fields or walk quietly by the lake - it's up to you. Ask about the Clearwater Valley rides - an experience to remember!
Trout Unlimited Our lodge and guest house both overlook Stauffer Creek, the finest spring fed creek in Alberta. Also known as the North Raven River, the challenging Stauffer is a favorite for sports fishermen, and many believe the best stretch is the one that winds through the Lazy M. Famous for its brown trout, the Stauffer is also good for brook trout. The Lazy M is the perfect spot for a fly-fishing holiday. A 10 minute drive will bring you to the banks of Prairie Creek, South Raven River, Clear Creek or the Clearwater River.
Ask about our new "Mountaineer Package" where we take you for an overnight ride on the Eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains.
Packages available range from weekend specials up to 14 day Great Canadian Cowboy Packages. Package Price is $150 CDN/person per day
Better yet combine the Lazy M packages with some of the Alberta Adventures (canoeing, skijoring; dog sledding; canyon walking; ice climbing; snowmobiling) into your dream vacation!!! Full winter details are available here

4 and 7 Day Pack Horse Trips are for novice to advanced riders that want to stay overnight in alpine base or spike camps. (Base camps are permanent, Spike camps are "Indian bedrooms" beneath the pine trees and stars in alpine basins.) Ride all day and never see another person, pass through isolated valleys, head across the mountain passes once used by the Indians, and later for prospectors, then travel down into U shaped valley bottoms that open up into wild hay meadows... View glaciers of the rugged Coast Range to the west and the glaciated Chilcotin Mountains to the east, ride along a mountain stream red from the leaching of minerals.
4 and 7 Day Alpine Mountain Biking & Hut-to-Hut Hiking Trips Trips are customized according to the group. All personal gear is transported for you in and out of camp(s). No matter what you choose, be prepared for the challenge and beauty the mountains have to offer.
