A Family Friendly Tour

Your safari  begins at Mile 3.9 Stampede Road in Healy. This historical road, once known as the Stampede Trail from the Gold and Antimony strikes, was one of the first roads into Denali National Park.

All of our rides offer stunning panoramic views of the Alaska Range and the surrounding  Healy Valley from start to finish. Denali National Park surrounds us on three sides, but we are unable to ride into the park. We are the only horseback outfitter in Denali with views of Mt. McKinley on our 1/2 day and  longer rides.  Your experienced guide takes you on a journey traveling up 3200 feet in elevation with breathtaking views of the entire area.

Looking to the South, less than 2 miles away, sits the majestic Alaska Range which  is the Northern Border of Denali Park.  Looking  to the West you might see Mt. McKinley, the tallest mountain in North America! (On half days or longer rides only). Due North you'll see more of those confounded mountains that everyone is talking about!

Ride across the high alpine tundra and experience its incredible wildflowers  and birds in the spring and spectacular colors and abundant berries in the fall.  If Mother Nature cooperates you may see moose, caribou, bear and sometimes sheep.

Two Hour Tundra Tour: The perfect ride for those who want a real taste of Alaska but who don't want to brave four hours in the saddle. Your savvy horse will carry you up the open tundra to an elevation of 2500 feet, and return through a beautiful ravine that melds into taiga. Amazing views will have you constantly reaching for your camera. Excellent natural history lectures and great chances to view wildlife, especially moose! Moderate difficulty.

Four Hour Alpine Tour:  You and your sturdy mountain horse will ascend a 3800-foot ridge overlooking the Healy drainage and the National Park. Ride up into pure alpine terrain where 100-year-old trees are only 6 inches tall. This ride offers astounding views of 'The Great One'- Denali. This tour covers it all- taiga, tundra, the alpine- from wildflowers to marmots, moose and bears. Snack provided (if you can eat it before your trusty horse does! It’s their favorite treat!). Requires Intermediate Experience.  No Beginners, Please.
