Ride along the base of Sulphur Mountain to a delicious cowboy BBQ cookout at 3 Mile Cabin.
First, you’ll ride along the Bow River while watching for wildlife and enjoying the spectacular scenery.
Midway through the ride, you’ll arrive at “3 Mile” to enjoy genuine Western hospitality and some tasty comfort food including steak cooked to order, baked potatoes, cowboy baked beans and Caesar salad. The BBQ area has been recently updated, offering a clean and inviting space with outdoor seating to enhance your dining experience.
But before digging in, work up an appetite with a few Western-style games, like lassoing and horse-shoes. The ride is also perfect for youngsters over eight years.
This adventure is ideal for families, as it provides an opportunity for horseback riders to meet up with those who have taken the wagon ride at “3 Mile Cabin” to share and enjoy together the cowboy BBQ feast.
For those interested in hosting a larger gathering, cowboy cookouts can be arranged for groups, with options for private or corporate exclusivity for up to 60 guests. For more details and to make arrangements, please reach out to us.
