Super neat way to see a little back country. The horses are so beautiful and huge! Spectacular views along the way. The guide is very knowledgeable and full of fun facts. The dinner was delicious!!!! So much food - come hungry!

This was an awesome adventure! The entire family (young and old) loved the ride. We all enjoyed the mountain vistas and wildlife. Antonio and Nina were great. They shared a lot of local history and information about the plants and animals of the area. Highly recommend! The meal was great too!

We choose this adventure to experience the slow mode of travel. The wagon had 3 steps to get inside and there were hand rails. The ride into the back country included a stop at a cabin where pre covid you ate but now houses a huge cast iron stove and casts of animals tracks. We were given a drink and a cookie to start with, then a snack box with cheese and crackers, grapes and sausage and that was followed by a massive dinner. You could have two alcoholic drinks or non alcoholic, chicken, ribs, salmon and 3 kinds of salads plus beans, cornbread and corn. Just when you think you’ll explode desert arrives!! So if you walk away hungry shame on you. We did have a vegan in our party and they accommodated them nicely!! They picked us up and delivered us to our hotel at no extra cost. They only reason I did not give them 5 stars was no real animal sightings or really good history and/or folklore stories. We did learn about crazy Gale but was Gale really crazy if he solved the permafrost issues by using carpet and got the flight pattern over his house to a no fly zone!!!! It was a slow, enjoyable journey with tons of food!!
