A train of packhorses crossing a rockslide, a cowboy thinking on a rock by a pool of water, and a rocky cliff against a blue sky.

Planning for some spectacular summer activities for this year's vacation? It's time to leave civilization far behind! Reserve a trail ride package with Copper Cayuse Outfitters and experience the joy of riding on horseback, relaxing and enjoying nature the way our forefathers did. Your customized expedition with CCO into British Columbia's spectacular Coastal Mountains is sure to leave you with the memories of a lifetime. Your trail ride will be like no other!

On the day before your trip, we'll arrange to get your duffle and other camping gear from your accommodation in Whistler or Pemberton, and have it brought to our Packmaster for loading with our equipment. We'll be ready to advise you on which equipment to pack away, and what to keep with you (like your camera!), and also to answer any last-minute questions you may have. The next morning, we'll pick you up bright and early from your accommodation, and drive you to the trailhead, where you'll meet your horse and whatever wranglers you haven't been introduced to yet.

A mountain river slowly flows through a teacherous high-alpine marsh, and a painted horse quietly grazes in a stand of birch trees.

From there you'll depart with us for the less traveled world in the backcountry wilderness of British Columbia. You'll ride through quiet forest trails, climb up beyond the tree line, travel through mountain passes and relax in alpine meadows, all while enjoying the abundant wildlife. Although we can't guarantee that you'll see any particular species, you could meet mountain sheep, goats, bears (black bears and grizzlies), wolves, deer, and all kinds of smaller creatures that are prevalent in the area. Every horseback ride into the backcountry has its own story, with different events and encounters that will make your days in the saddle unique.

These backcountry horseback adventures depart every Thursday during the season, and return on Sunday night.

Every trip includes all meals from lunch on Day 1 to lunch on Day 4. Every effort will be made to conform to any specialized dietary restrictions you may have. Sleeping bags and shelters/tents are provided. All riders must be at least 16 years of age.
