Explore Alaska’s winter beauty from the saddle
3 hrs
Horseback ride, Guide
Join a guided horseback trail ride from the ranch during the October–April winter season.
Weather permitting, we will journey through the our lovely backyard woods out into the snow covered sand dunes and the open expanse of the Knik River Valley. As we take in the views of our amazing snowcapped mountains and Knik Glacier, we may cross through some water of Jim Creek, or over the frozen river, stop for some pictures, and then make our way back to our ranch.
If temperatures fall below -7°F on the day of your ride, your ride will be rescheduled for a warmer day.

This experience will be one of my most favorite memories of our vacation. Our guide, Johnathan was the best! I'm not an experienced rider, but felt safe and sound with him and my lovely mare Sheeba. Put this at the top of your bucket list, you won't regret it. Shout out to Doc and Bug for their hilarious antics 😆
