Three Bars Dude Ranch offers the most diverse activities program available. Including a complete range of horseback riding programs, hiking, river rafting, mountain bikes, fly fishing, tennis, heated pool, hot tub, and fitness facility. Enjoy your vacation experience with true western hospitality, Three Bars Ranch style.

If this is your first Dude Ranch vacation,or your a veterian dude rancher you will surely be impressed.  The Beckley family are now 4th generation Dude Ranchers, we have been teaching guests from around the world to ride and enjoy western horsemanship since 1952.  Three generations of the Beckley's now live on the ranch and are involved in the day to day opertions of the ranch. Three Bars Ranch is also home to Beckley Reining horses, where Jesse Beckley trains full time and Jeff and April Beckley train and show as non-pro's.  To learn more about the reining horses visit the Beckley Reining website.

We know not everyone in every family want to ride horses.  For that reason we have a non-rider rate. If just relaxing, or hiking, mountain biking, tennis, rafting, playing a game of golf is your idea of a great vacation, then you too will love Three Bars.

Non-riders, sinlges, families and couples as well will have the trip of a lifetime.

No previous horseback riding experience, no problem we have Dude Ranchers Association certified wranglers to give you a helping hand. All of the activities at the ranch are designed to include all levels of experience. From the old hands to the green horns we will work with you to make you more comfortable.

Here at Three Bars we tailor your holiday to be as active as you choose to be!

Each day of your vacation with us here at Three Bars Ranch begins with a great ranch breakfast.  Meet with your freinds and family in the lodge dining room or on the lodge deck for a morning cup of coffee in the sunshine.  Tyler will be by soon to sign you up for the morning adventure, be it a scenic mountain ride, a family ride with the kids, maybe a lesson or are you ready for a fast ride.  You choose your ride for the morning and head out to the corrals after breakfast where your horse is saddled and the wranglers are ready to lead you on your adventure.  Back to the ranch for lunch and to meet up with the rest of the group.  Afternoons you get to choose again! A horseback ride or perhaps a hike, a raft trip or trap shooting.  Everyone is back to the ranch by around 4:00 from all the activites.  Time for a quick dip in the pool and meet back at the lodge in the saloon or on the patio for a beverage.  Some fun recall of the days events and it is dinner time.  After dinner join in on the wranglers volleyball game in front of the lodge or spectate from the lodge deck, join in on the campfire or take part in the famous Three Bars Ranch fire engine games.  Remember your north, so dark comes late during the summer months it is light here up to 10:30 and it gets daylight again by 5:00 AM.  Those who manage to stay up late might even get to see the northern lights, if not the star show alone is worth one late night.


Three Bars Guest Ranch is located in Canadian Rocky Mountains of British Columbia, Canada, between Banff Park and Glacier Park. This special part of the world offers an abundance of nature, clean fast moving water, green fields and breathtaking mountain vistas.
The ranch is home to Elk, Whitetail Deer, Mule Deer, Canadian Geese, Coyotes, Badgers and the occasional Black Bear.  The Elk and Deer often Graze in the ranch hay fields and your welcome to take a short hike after dinner to get a closer look.
