Raising the Rafters - Exshaw, Alberta

Beauty, history, hospitality, great food, packhorses, cowboy hats and cowhands Rafters Six Ranch has it all!

A visit to Rafters Six Ranch in beautiful Kananaskis country and the Bow Valley area close to Calgary is a short trip into that childhood fantasy world of 'the wild west.' Grab a cowboy hat from the gift shop in the main lodge when you arrive and lose yourself in the legendary land of the cowboy for a few days.

There is nothing fake about Rafters Six. First built in the 1870's as a whiskey trading post it was later shut down by the Mounties before reinventing itself in 1926 as a guest ranch for people who wanted to experience cowboy life for a little while. Today the Cowley family own and run it, and they are an authentic cowboy family right down to their Stetsons, cowboy boots and the beautiful horseshoe ring that Stan Cowley wears on his finger (ask him to show it to you when you visit the ranch, it's an unique and beautiful piece of western jewelry).

With a dazzling view of the Rocky Mountain range always visible the ranch it's a spectacular place to enjoy sublime Canadian nature. Their horse rides follow trails through the picturesque Bow River Valley and the sound of the rushing river or rustling leaves matches perfectly with the cozy log cabins and crackling wood fire in the dining room.

Rafters Ranch offers an array of activities that will keep you busy for days. Good for families or couples you can do everything from adrenaline pumping white water rafting, zip-lining and mountain biking to gentle trail rides, quiet walks through wooded paths or just soak in their hot tub! And winter is just as fun with cold weather horse rides, tobogganing, sled rides, dog sledding, snowshoeing and more. Later, after you work up a hunger during all your adventuring, you can quench your appetite with a delicious meal in their casual dining room offering a full western menu (trust the GCAT crew the food is incredible! Hint: the ostrich burger is healthy and delicious!). The whole ranch is decorated with western memorabilia right down to the cowboy themed signs on the men's and women's toilets! It all makes you feel like you're an actor on a movie set!

Rafters Six Ranch is a fabulous western Canadian experience. The GCAT crew arrived as city slickers but quickly took on the persona of seasoned cowboys and girls. When we climbed back into our Chrysler van and continued on our way we had withdrawals from our horses and cowboy hats. Take it from us, you'll never feel more at home in a 10 gallon Stetson than you will while you're at Rafters.

Yee-haw!

Summer Hiking at Grotto Canyon near Canmore (4K) | Journey Alberta

I journey into the Rocky Mountains near Exshaw and Canmore with my friend Jesse to see what Grotto Canyon looks like in the summer. We see many places to rock climb, he wall drawings by Aboriginal people, and a waterfall tucked away behind some rocks. After the waterfall area we venture further in the canyon to see a mostly washed away cave. It was mostly washed away during the 2013 Alberta Floods, and now only goes back half a meter and is dangerous to climb up to.
