Homeplace Ranch is a year round working and guest ranch in Albertas high cattle country. The main ranch is about 50 km (31 miles) southwest of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. It is at an elevation of 1500m (4900 ft) in the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains. In addition to the ranch property, we also ride on the surrounding several thousand acres of Crown land, most of which is leased for cattle ranching. Bears, deer, coyotes, elk and other wildlife are frequently seen. The ranch was homesteaded in 1912. Photographs and artifacts of the original owners are still displayed and many log buildings from that period are currently in use. We have been in the guide, outfitting and horseback vacation business for over 30 years. We enjoy helping our guests understand a way of life for which Southern Alberta is known.
