The 2026 Edition of the Haller Grinder Ride is Just Under 3 Weeks Away!

This Years Date is May 30th and 31st

People will start arriving Thursday or Friday at Haller Rec Site.  The weather looks like it will be good, but don’t forget rain gear. 

We will camp at Haller Rec sites  and do daily rides into the Edge Hills or across the road into the Marbles.

This site accommodates tent camping, campers or trailers.  There are pit toilets and lots of room at each one.  

Rental horses and guides come from Charlie and Jenn at the Coldwell Ranch.  Rental costs are $200/day. Give me a call at 604-230-4225 or an email to conservationrob@gmail.com if you need some help.

If you have your own horses and are able to get them there and care for them, you are encouraged to do so. 

There will be a potluck at my camp Saturday night, so keep that in mind. It’s fun time to sit around, eat and tell some good lies!


I look forward to seeing a bunch of you there!

Where Is The Ride Happening?
 For anyone who doesn’t already know where we go, here are the details:

The closest town to where we ride is Clinton, BC, just north of Cache Creek and south of 100 Mile House.  The area  we ride is to the west of that, close to the Fraser.  You can find both of our potential camp sites off the Jesmond Road, which you access via the Kelly Lake Road or the Big Bar Road.   The red circle is the area where we do our rides. 

We are camping at Haller this year.  The Kelly Lake/Jesmond Road route is shorter, and the first 17 kms or so are paved.  Turn left as soon as you come to the village of Clinton, as indicated on the map, and look for the turn off to the camp on your left just a couple minutes after you pass through the Circle H Mountain Ranch.

The Big Bar Road route is longer, but it was just graded on Tuesday, so it might be a preferable route for some people.  

Potluck
 

One of our favourite gatherings (social distanced of course) is the ever so wonderful potluck.  Our potlucks are fun casual affairs and as anyone who’s attended them knows, we don’t overthink them. 

As always, an open invitation to cowboy poets and music!l
