It is only a half-hour drive from Cardston.

There are many ways to explore this part of Alberta. However, a truly authentic means by which to explore this stunning landscape is by horseback, and the closest option to Cardston are Alpine Stables, located within the National Park.

The Stables are open from May to September and offer anywhere from 1-8 hour trail rides. You can see the southern Rockies in spring bloom, under the summer heat, or when the leaves change in the fall.
