Tombstone Loop
7 day packtrip
experience level: intermediate-advanced
This trip starts in the mountains and gets you deeper. It was originally conceived to appeal to those who loved the Forget me not ride, and want to follow up with something similar in new territory, but can also stand on its own.
THE ITINERARY
Ride the rockies
We start where the Forget Me Not left off – in the beautiful Elbow Camp. Over 5 days we’ll move with packhorses and occupy 3 camps in 3 different mountain valleys, separated by Tombstone Pass. Because we’re traveling with packhorses and very little of the trail is suitable for speed, most of this trip is done at a walk with the occasional trot.
We’ll cover roughy 100 kms in the Elbow, Sheep and Little Elbow valleys of Kananaskis Country.
The itinerary is an outline of what to expect, rather than a fixed agenda. We may have to alter the plan if conditions like weather, bear activity or river water levels make a trail unsafe.

“My sister and I booked this pack trip as a low risk adventure we could have in the midst of covid. This was our first pack trip ever, but after this experience, we are already planning more.”
“As a horse owner that does day rides and overnight camps regularly in Australia, myself and friends did lots of research to try to find a Canadian Rockies Horseback Trip that would fit our requirements and expectations. What can I say, but Neil, Undine, Wendy and the rest of the Moose Mountain team totally met and exceeded our expectations. ”
“I first holidayed at M&M Ranch in summer 2005 with friends. I loved it so much I have returned every year since. Beautiful countryside, great atmosphere, good friends, a wide variety of well trained horses.
This is a lovely place to stay and experience Alberta, whether its just for a short ride around the property or for a pack trip adventure out in the Rockies.”
