Spend three days and two nights in BC’s spectacular Coast Mountain Range. During this time, you’ll explore the beautiful mountain range between Birkenhead Lake and the Li-lik-hel mine. Rivers, lakes, forests, alpine meadows, old mine packhorse trails and single track await your expedition. Sure-footed gentle mountain horses will carry you to each campground where our guides set up camp and cook a dinner around the campfire. Over the three days you will get to know the horse that we have picked to match your abilities and learn to appreciate their nature.

Learn More about Squamish

Squamish is a town located in the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District in British Columbia, Canada. 

Squamish means "Mother of Wind" in Salish. The town makes a living from the timber industry, but its economic activities are increasingly turning to the construction industry. Between Vancouver and Whistler, adventure is not an empty word in this area, attracting more and more residents.
It's one of the wettest places in all of Canada, with up to 2400 mm of rainfall per year. Rainfall is often continuous over long periods of time, especially in winter. Compared to other parts of Canada, snow is not especially common in winter. 

Beginning with Chief Stavams, the holy mountain of Squamish climbers, it is also a popular destination for mountain biking. This place combines the geographical environment of mountains, puddles and forests, and adventurers of all skill levels will be amazed. The steep, towering granite cliffs in the area attract rock climbers, and Via Ferrata is an activity you can enjoy here.
