    A relaxing horseback riding vacation in Canada! You will follow the trails of early pioneers as you ride deep into the Chilcotin mountain wilderness. Your gradual ascending trail leads you through old-growth forests, aspen meadows and narrow mountain paths to lofty peaks and lake kissed valleys. This is the home to moose, mountain goat, and bighorn sheep. The wildflower displays here rank amongst the most resplendent in BC. Your venue is located near the crystal blue waters of the Tyaughton Lake; 125 miles north of Vancouver, British Columbia. You will spend your first night and final nights in the luxury of a 4****wilderness lodge. Awarded the Trip Advisor 2013 Certificate of Excellence, this is one of the largest log lodges in Canada. Your remaining lodging will be found in cozy backcountry cabins and glamping camps. Your horse will carry you between 4 – 15 miles per day. This is an epic backcountry adventure!   RIDING IN CANADA
