Explore Our Rides
Valley Rides: One & Two Hour Tours
Perfect for all riding abilities, our One and Two Hour rides depart from our Pemberton Meadows Ranch. Ride along the fertile valley farmland, where you’ll experience a combination of terrain including creeks, forests and hay fields along the Pemberton Meadows Road. Witness the stunning view of Mt Currie from horseback. Popular with beginner riders, this tour can also be booked as private for advanced riders.
Mountain Rides: Day Trips & Expeditions
Experience the thrill and beauty of riding in the Birkenhead Mountain region. A type of riding even lifelong riders often haven’t experienced, our sure-footed horses will take you across varying elevations and terrain - through winding forests, steep alpine single-track, rivers, lakes, and old gold-mines. This is mountain riding. It’s steep, it’s stunning, it’s the ultimate adventure.
At Copper Cayuse Outfitters, we deeply value our long-standing relationship with the N'Quatqua First Nation and their support of our operations on their traditional lands. Together, we’re working to strengthen our partnership by aligning with N'Quatqua’s Vision, Values, and Mission to create sustainable tourism opportunities that benefit the community. This collaboration focuses on developing guided horseback operations that honor N'Quatqua’s rich horse culture and heritage. By revitalizing these traditions, we aim to offer visitors meaningful experiences while fostering a deeper connection to the land.
