Horseback Riding
Horseback riding is a timeless way to experience the open meadows, forest trails, and wide‑ranging views of Wells Gray Country. Local outfitters offer guided rides for all experience levels, from relaxed family‑friendly outings to longer backcountry adventures. Riding here gives visitors a quieter, slower way to explore the landscape — listening to the creak of saddle leather, the rhythm of hooves, and the sounds of the forest around you.
Whether you’re new to horses or an experienced rider, the Clearwater area offers a welcoming introduction to the region’s ranching heritage and wilderness scenery.
There are several operators offering unique trail riding experiences allowing you to view different parts of the Wells Gray Park or to taste a little bit of country on a working ranch. Trail rides cater for all abilities from an hour to a full day trip.
Each establishment has their own set of unique trails. Contact the Information Centre to find out more about these rides, times, abilities and distance.
