Bar JH Trail Rides
- We’ve been friends of the Whitfords & riding this area since 1983. Its some of the best mountain riding a person can find and our favorite by far !!!
- Located on the Hummingbird Creek just a couple of miles west of Ram River Provincial Park off the Forestry Trunk Road
- Explore the Ram River and Ranger Creek valleys or head up into the Onion Lake area.
- Rates $40 per day/ horse
- Horses leave the corral after 9AM & must be back to the corral by 6PM or your wranglers get a little grumpy!
- The owners- Judy & Del Whitford have been operating out of these mountains for nigh on 50 years & are now more famously referred to as the Hillbilly Girl & the Metis Cowboy as their trail riding venture expands into local story catching. When you travel in our area look for their books volume 1-3, published by the Western Star
- You can contact the Whitfords by leaving a message on their Caroline home phone 403-722-2419. During the summer when they are living in their mountain home where there is no phone access they collect messages once a week. They request a minimum of 2 weeks ahead to ensure reservations for their horses. If you happen to be in the Hummingbird area you can try dropping in at the corral to check horse availability
