Can you imagine riding a beautiful horse beside a ice blue glacial lake flanked by snow capped mountains?
Add to that dream, a star conservation area and a hot tub, modern accommodation nestled on the banks of the lake and oh, you are beginning to sound like a movie set.
The riding days on this trail are shorter so that riders can enjoy the location of the trail. Swim in the lake, read a lovely book, soak in the hot tub or spend time with the horses at the side of the lake.
