Alaska horseback riding on the Kenai Peninsula

The Trail Ride takes you into the Mountains above Cooper Landing or along a scenic lake & creek depending on the experience of the group. Both are spectacular and for many folks the highlight of their vacation.

The scenic float shows off the beauty of the Upper Kenai River Valley and all of it's wildlife & abundant bird life. This serene stretch of river is fun and safe for all ages & abilities.

In between the Paddle and the Saddle, you'll have a hearty lunch and work your way through some paydirt in the traditional way.

We get the dirt from a historic mining claim in Cooper Landing. We never know what to expect for gold, sometimes it is, "WOW! Look what we got”. And then there are other times, that aren’t so wow. You'll have your own sluice box to work your dirt - quite an interesting process - and it’s fun to examine the rocks and watch for gold.

When finished, the ripples are removed from the sluice box and we clean the remains (black sand) into a gold pan. Then you sit comfortably in front of a tub of water and pan it out. We do not ‘salt’ the dirt; you suffer the same fate as every miner. The gold in this country is normally fine. However, at times, we get small flakes and nuggets. There is almost always 'color’ in your pan.

Optional Upgrades -
Half day Mountain Ride (4 hours) - add $50/person
