Waterton Lakes National Park a world UNESCO site, is located a 2.5 hour drive from the Calgary International Airport. Sit back and relax as we spoil you with terrific food, incredible scenery and our famous Canadian cowboy hospitality. The TRCR is a non-profit club in operation since 1923.
Each day will find you exploring lakes, valleys, glaciers or mountain pass. This area actually gives us more options than we have days to ride! The high, uninhabited valleys of the Rockies offer peace and contentment combined with the thrill of majestic vistas. There is a sweep of majesty to this land, a towering grandeur and nobility of face, so powerful in its vast silence. This alpine land abounds in larch, spruce and fir trees, mountain animals and birds, incredible alpine flowers, meadows and parklands leading to the nearby snow capped peaks and ridges. Waterton Lakes National Park is a unique area, abundant in deer, elk, mountain sheep and goats, bears, eagles and hawks….you name it!
