To get a real sense of old - time Alaska, climb into Black Diamond's family-friendly Covered Wagon Adventure for a trip through time. While guides fill you in on the area's history and natural treasures, you'll be pulled by two draft horses through the Alaskan tundra with the mountains of nearby Denali National Park hovering overhead.

Your tour begins at a beautiful mountain lake with panoramic views. Enjoy a relaxing meal freshly prepared with only the finest ingredients and served by Black Diamond's colorful local staff. Next, join your horse guide and entertainer on a scenic adventure along the north boundary of Denali National Park. Learn about the history of this coal mining area as you pass through the wilderness. Your guide will share local folklore, facts, and more. Pause at the Dry Creek riverbed to stretch your legs and feed the horses carrots if you like. You'll also stop at a rustic cabin and have a chance to see how some Alaskans still live.

 

 


Details: No experience necessary. Suitable for all ages and abilities. Complimentary shuttle is not equipped with wheelchair lift, however.
