Covered Wagon Canyon Ride and BBQ Dinner

5.00We 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!
Awesome Horse Wagon Tour
