Accommodation during the trail combines remote wilderness camping with mountain comfort. You will spend four nights in off-grid camps deep in Alaska’s backcountry, sleeping beneath open skies and surrounded by glaciers and peaks, followed by a final night in a cozy mountain lodge with sauna and hot tub - the perfect balance between raw adventure and well-earned comfort.

Day 1 | 23.08 — Arrival in Anchorage | Into the North Arrive in Anchorage, where your Alaskan journey begins. You will be met by your private driver and transferred to your local accommodation downtown.

In the evening, we gather for a welcome dinner to meet your guides and fellow riders, setting the tone for the adventure ahead. Meals not included. Days 2–6 | 24-28.08 — Horseback Glacier Trek & Wilderness Camping | Deep Into Alaska We depart for Palmer and enter Alaska’s wild backcountry on horseback, beginning a five-day expedition toward the majestic Knik Glacier. Each day unfolds across varied terrain - mountain ridges, river valleys, glacial plains, and endless open landscapes. Expect trotting, cantering, and long scenic rides, wildlife encounters, and a deep sense of isolation from the modern world. You will spend four nights in remote wilderness camps, completely off the grid, with evenings around the campfire and hearty, camp-cooked meals under open skies. A support vehicle accompanies the group with luggage and safety equipment. The final night after riding is spent in a cozy mountain lodge with sauna, hot tub, and sweeping mountain views - a moment of comfort and reflection after days in the saddle. All meals included Day 7 | 29.08 — Local Culture & Alaska State Fair | Palmer After the intensity of the trail, today is dedicated to relaxing and local immersion.

You will stay in Salmon Creek, just outside town, close enough to explore while remaining immersed in nature. Day 9 | 31.08 — Kenai Fjords | Glaciers, Whales & Kayaking A full day dedicated to Alaska’s marine wilderness. We embark on a private fjord boat tour through Kenai Fjords National Park, sailing past dramatic glaciers and towering cliffs. Expect to spot sea otters, puffins, humpback whales, and orcas.

Level: Intermediate / Advanced The Rider This experience is designed for riders with solid trail skills, good balance, and strong physical condition, who are comfortable riding for multiple days in remote wilderness conditions. You should be confident at all paces and able to handle varied terrain, including mountain trails, river crossings, open glacial plains, and changing weather conditions. Riders are expected to manage their own horse, adapt to natural conditions, and remain focused during long days in the saddle. Expect between 4 and 7 hours on horseback per day, depending on terrain, weather, and group rhythm. Some days are relaxed and scenic; others may be physically demanding and require endurance and mental resilience. Rider weight limit: approx. 105 kg (225 lbs). Heavier riders may be accepted upon prior arrangement, subject to horse availability. Horses You will ride strong, sure-footed trail horses selected for Alaska’s rugged terrain and long distances. These horses are calm, responsive, smooth under saddle, and bred to handle steep paths, water crossings, and glacial landscapes with confidence. Breeds vary from Draft, Quarter horses, and Tennessee Walker crosses, making for a diverse breed range meant for rides like this. Tack will be Western saddles that have been adapted for long riding days in remote terrain. Saddlebags are provided for water and personal essentials, while main luggage is transported separately, allowing you to ride light and free. Route & Riding Conditions Over five days on horseback, you will traverse Alaska’s backcountry - mountain ridges, river valleys, glacial plains, and open wilderness. This is not a fixed route, but a living trail shaped by weather, terrain, and wilderness conditions. Expect a natural rhythm of walking, trotting, and occasional cantering, with sections requiring careful navigation across rivers, mud, or uneven ground. This journey is not about speed or distance, but about reading the land, moving with nature, and becoming part of a landscape still ruled by ice, weather, and time. Rest assured, there will be some picturesque moments to move the horses out at speed when terrain allows.
