Thanksgiving Ranch
Arrive at Calgary International Airport, and after picking up your hire car, head south, through the rolling prairies with the majestic Rocky Mountains looming in the distance, to Thanksgiving Ranch, set on an expansive 3,000 acres of luxurious isolation. This traditional family ranch is perfect for those looking for a classic ranch adventure with all the comforts of a premium hotel stay. Your 3-night stay at the ranch includes all meals, use of ranch amenities and 2 x 90-minute horse riding experiences. The idyllic location makes Thanksgiving Ranch the perfect place to relax and forget the stresses of modern life. You can also take a day trip to the nearby Waterton Lakes National Park to enjoy the spectacular scenery.

Leave the prairies behind as it's time to explore the Rocky Mountains! Drive up to Banff and take time to explore this charming mountain town and the surrounding National Park.

Lake Louise
For the journey to Lake Louise, we recommend leaving the highway and driving on the Bow Valley Parkway, stopping at viewpoints over Morant’s Curve and Castle Mountain and talking a walk at Johnstone Canyon to see spectacular waterfalls.

Great food and hospitality await! Later today return to Stampede Park for the Rangeland Derby, where in the evening, nine heart-stopping Chuckwagon races explode in an all-out dash for the finish line. Chuckwagon racing is an amazing contest of nerves and horsepower - a challenge that ignites thousands of fans. Following this enjoy the outdoor stage spectacular. For two hours, you will be dazzled by the lavishly produced and choreographed non-stop musical variety grandstand show, featuring elaborate song and dance numbers and acrobatics.
