Our guided rides provide western adventure for the whole family with hourly, half-day, full-day and overnight pack trips. We offer group rates as well as single hourly rates.

Our friendly guides enjoy sharing stories of local history, and identifying wildflowers and wildlife habitat.

Alpine Stables is a family operation established in Waterton since1969. Dee and Lorna Barrus and their young family began with 25 to 30 good ranch horses and a desire to show visitors the splendors of the Alberta Rockies.

Dee's ranching savy, tracking and trapping experience, love of the wilderness and his adventurous spirit combined to ensure a memorable ride, whether of one hour or five day duration. This tradition is carried on by their capable and enthusiastic family, now into the third generation.




Today Alpine Stables has fifty head of experienced mountain horses ready to accommodate both beginners and the most experienced riders.

There are 200 kms (120 miles) of trails in Waterton Lakes National Park, ranging in difficulty from a gentle rolling ride to steep climbs to the breath-taking tops of mountains!

Blue Ridge Outfitters, owned and guided by Dee Barrus and Bill Wynder, was formed in 1989 in order to offer longer horse packing trips than are possible within the National Park.
