About Timberline Tours
Timberline Tours is a family-run horseback riding outfitter based in Lake Louise, offering guided trail rides through some of the most spectacular scenery in Banff National Park. Operating for decades from their corral on the Bow River flats, they provide an authentic western riding experience that suits complete beginners through to experienced riders.
Trail ride options range from one-hour introductory loops along the Bow River to full-day adventures reaching the Lake Agnes Teahouse or the Plain of Six Glaciers. Multi-day pack trips venture deep into the backcountry with overnight camps at remote wilderness sites. All rides include well-trained horses matched to rider ability, western saddles, and knowledgeable guides who share the area's natural and human history.
Timberline Tours stands out for its location — rides depart directly into Banff National Park backcountry with views of the Continental Divide, Victoria Glacier, and turquoise alpine lakes. The guides have an easygoing style that makes nervous first-timers feel comfortable while still delivering a genuine mountain riding experience.
