Back to the old times

Silver Spur Trails Wilderness Ranch is getting back to the origin of shooting. Kevin spent an afternoon with the Monashee Mountain Men in Salmon Arm on the weekend learning from the professionals and shooting his 50 cal. black powder gun. Black powder, smoke, just like in the Western movies.
You too have the chance to have the experience the old times during a horseback riding vacation at Silver Spur Trails Wilderness Ranch. For more information please visit our Website or call the ranch at 250-547-9869

Day Ranch Adventures

The 1-day or half-day ranch adventure at Silver Spur Trails is a great mini getaway.
The 1-hour or 2-hour mountain trail ride will give you a good taste of of the wilderness surrounding the ranch. The trail leads through large, old growth forests and rugged terrain. Soon you will trust your sure footed mountain horse and fully enjoy the adventure and the nature surrounding you. Moose Mountain is the place to stop for a while to take in the view and click some picture memories. There is a good chance to see some wildlife on this ride.
 Back at the ranch, there are some other excitements waiting for you. Always wanted to know how to shoot with a bow and arrow? Archery at the ranch is like going back in time. After some hard practice, everyone will boost their archery skills. Target shooting with an air rifle is also a good way to spend some time.
Enjoy a barbeque dinner on the camp fire, followed by Cowboy coffee and marshmallows. Get your Cowboy spirit out and share some trail stories while sitting around the camp fire.

The signs of spring are everywhere at Silver Spur Trails. The air in the house is filled with the sweet smell of the lilies and outside are the daffodils and tullips in bloom. Today I spotted the first hummingbird buzzing around near the empty feeders in the front of the house. This means that it's time to get them filled up and hang the Geranium baskets for the little birds to get some feed.

Don't miss a visit to Silver Spur Trails Wilderness Ranch this spring, either for an adventure horseback ride or for a memorable overnight getaway. We have something for everybody. Please check out our tipi lodges (camp) for a group getaway. For more information please contact the ranch.
