After we cleared the national parks we found an RV park outside of Hintson, Alberta. Close by was a trailriding stables, and we were the only ones there to ride. It was just the guide and us and was about the best ride yet. My palomino Morgan, Utah, hadn't been out on the trail for 10 days and was really feeling good. We could have made the trip in half the time, but he was very well behaved. Ken's horse, Chance, liked to lag back and then trot to catch up and would have liked to lope more also. Our guide, Mark, was really terrific with local and Indian information and had a great sense of humor. Mark realized we could ride so we had some trot and lope opportunities through beautiful forests and up and down some great inclines and declines. We came out on a beautiful overlook of the river. The barn was really intriguing with the floor made of 4x6 fir planks placed on their sides. Ken found an opportunity to keep his barn tending skills polished.
So grateful you all are having the time of your life on this trip! What is the teepee used for?- Is it there as a model of native American life or does it have a specific purpose?
