On this adventure we go exploring an area of Alberta that's not well known but has incredible views; the Ya Ha Tinda. This location has been used for ranching for over 100 years and the camping facilities are perfectly accommodated for horses. We explore a little bit of the Ya Ha Tinda ranch which is used by Parks Canada for horses then we explore bighorn falls while at the same time look at the camping facilities in the area.

The Ya Ha Tinda covers 3,945 hectares, running 27 km along the north bank of the Red Deer River. Approximately one third of the ranch area is natural grassland and two thirds is mixed forest. This productive montane area has an abundance of wildlife including grizzly bear, wolf, cougar, moose, deer, and bighorn sheep. Today the area is a major winter range for elk, with about 1,000 elk wintering in the area.

The Ya Ha Tinda is private property owned and managed by Parks Canada. It is not a National Park. This ranch is the only federally operated working horse ranch in Canada. Horses are wintered and trained here to be used as working horses for patrolling and protecting Canada's Western National Parks. As an active working ranch, staff regularly use tractors, trucks, quads and other equipment on the property.
