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 Cabin to enjoy genuine western hospitality and some tasty comfort food. 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.
Anyone joining the group can choose to take a relaxing wagon ride along the Bow River to 3 Mile Cabin and then re-join the group for an authentic cowboy bbq.
This ride is available as a dinner departure and meal.
