Horseback Riding
Our horses are experienced dude ranch horses. To ensure safety and an enjoyable ride, horses and riders are matched according to the rider’s experience and ability. Tacking-up demos and basic riding lessons are available for riders. Children must be six years old with adequate skill level to participate in horseback riding. Skill level is subject to approval by the wrangler. If you or your child would like a helmet, we suggest that you bring your own. A proper fitting helmet is paramount to safety.

Mountain Biking
Mountain bike enthusiasts love this area for the availability of trails and roadways. There are roadways which are closed to motorized vehicles making them ideal for mountain biking. Mountain bide rentals are available at the ranch. For your own safety, we suggest you bring your own helmet.

Hiking and Guided Hikes
The Bull River Guest Ranch is nestled in the Rocky Mountains. Hiking trails are abundant. Some guests prefer to hike on their own others prefer a guided hike – your choice.

River Rafting
We can arrange this on your behalf. Call for more information..

Fishing
Murray/Mirror Lake can be reached by hiking about 25 minutes from the ranch. Once you’re there you’ll see why it’s called Mirror Lake. Make sure you pick up a fishing license on your way through Cranbrook. The fish are always biting there! We can also arrange for guided fly-fishing trips.

Golfing
There are several championship golf courses nearby for golf enthusiasts. We would be happy to book tee times for you.

Helicopter Sightseeing Tours
We can arrange for Wildwater Heli-Tours to take you on the sightseeing tour of a lifetime. We can speak from experience – a helicopter tour of the area is absolutely incredible. Five minute drive from the ranch.
