Covered Wagon Canyon Ride and BBQ Dinner - We had a great experience on our Alaskan Adventure going on a covered wagon ride into a canyon. We ended up at a cabin where we had a nice barbeque dinner. Then we rode back to the farm. The scenery was spectacular! Our driver, Peter, was friendly and had a trusting relationship with the horses. Our tour guide, Courtney, was outgoing and was full of knowledge which she gladly shared with us. We would definitely recommend this adventure, and if we are ever back in Alaska, will do it again!

Lots of laughs and fun! - We had so much fun with Courtney and McKaela on our covered wagon ride and dinner! Our horses. Ray and Royal were beautiful. Both gals were very interesting, fun, knowledgeable and felt like instant friends! Courtney has an infectious laugh and giggle! We dubbed her "Butters". It's a story! LOL! The ride was beautiful even on a drizzly day.
