Discover Alaska the way pioneers and gold prospectors did - by a horse-drawn covered wagon. The excitement begins when the wagon picks you up right outside the tour desk and you climb aboard. Then, our beautiful teams of horses take you on a pleasant, unhurried journey offering exceptional views of Mt. McKinley, the surrounding peaks and glaciers of the Alaska Range. As you ride into the wilderness immerse yourself in the rugged and tranquil wonders of nature and keep your eyes open for the many animals that inhabit the area. Next, you'll stop for a chance to stretch your legs, sit around an old-fashioned campfire, roast S'mores and learn about Alaskan geology and history including stories about the gold rush days in the 1870s. You'll even get the chance to strike it rich by panning for a little gold yourself.
