WILDERNESS PACK TRIPS
Our specialty: All inclusive wilderness pack trips into the Chugach National Forest, where Alex Kime is a rare permit holder. Most trips are fairly extreme with challenging, yet safe, riding situations as we explore the deep wilderness of Alaska’s backcountry. Go places where few people have trekked.
Alaska Horsemen offers weekly pack trips starting on Tuesdays in July and August. July best for three day two night trips, August for four day, three night and more extreme riding trips. All trips are guided and outfitted with private tents for guests and home cooking campfire style. Our camp sites are selected with minimum impact to the land in mind as well as good grass for the horses and magnificent views for our campers. We like groups of six or less and private-custom trips welcome. Guests should be physically fit to be prepared for rugged-off trail riding at times.
All days offer a full day of horseback riding. Mornings start with a hardy leisure breakfast with cowboy (kona) coffee. Help us gather and saddle horses or spend some time behind the spotting scope searching for wildlife on the mountain sides. Plan on a fun day of riding with the best scenery and wildlife viewing in mind along with thrilling off trail riding meant for our seasoned Alaskan mountain horses. And the wildflowers, wow!
Back at camp, relaxing in a lawn chair and worn out after an unbelievable day of mountain riding, plan on a big campfire and a hardy meal. A full evening of watching for wildlife and the sunset on the mountains (if you are up that late). You watch the horses on good grass, your private tent in the distance and listen for the sounds and the quiet of the wilderness.
Most trips are hosted and guided by Alex Kime. Resurrection Trail , a historical trail from Cooper Landing to Hope, is used to access remote mountain valleys that were used by trappers, hunters and gold miners in the pioneer days. Their old trails are utilized as well as campsites. Our camp sites vary often as to allow minimum impact to areas. Wildlife viewing can be excellent. We do our best to help you spot wildlife among which you may see wolves, caribou, moose, brown bear, black bear, sheep, goat, coyote, wolverine, and bird viewing for eagles, hawks, owls, spruce hen and our state bird the ptarmigan.
