RESURRECTION TRAIL THREE-DAY PACK TRIP:
Guided and outfitted wilderness pack trip through Historical Resurrection Trail on the Chugiak National Forest. We make this 40-mile trail in 3 days, starting in Cooper Landing and ending in Hope. An Alaskan adventure that is truly unbelievable; huge forests, winding mountain valleys, vast alpine areas, mountain lakes and clear water streams. Possible opportunities to view caribou, moose, sheep, black and brown bear, wolves, Lynx, coyotes and beaver. We set up camp each night in a beautiful mountain setting where the grass is high for the horses. The riders enjoy great campfire cooking such as grilled t-bones, baked halibut and all the trimmings. We strive to create a menu that will work for you. Select your private tent site and enjoy the serenity of this wilderness country. Evening fun rides from camp available. (It doesn't get dark!).

(" I consider this a five start trip and in my 40 years of adventuring in Alaska, I would consider this one of the finest rides in the state.” Alex Kime) Average trip size is 2 to 6 guests.

The two pack trips that I have taken with Alaska Horsemen Trail Adventures have been outstanding. While the ability to reach wilderness areas inaccessible by any other means was something special, the manner in which the trips were conducted made them even more memorable. I expected to see many types of wildlife, and pristine wilderness areas, but everything exceeded my expectations. Looking out from atop a horse gives you a much perspective, and while the horses focus on the trail, the riders can look for bear, caribou, moose, wolves, fox, wolverines, and an incredible number of birds. One of the reasons that I went on the second trip was to assure myself that the first trip was real.
Alaska Horsemen was able to provide a sense of adventure to the excursions. All of the horses were well mannered, and well taken care of, and were very dependable even in difficult terrain. The atmosphere that was created was part Old West, and part Alaskan Adventure. There was enough gear and equipment to make the trip comfortable, but in an unpampered style. The trip was physically demanding enough to make sitting around the campfire at night a real reward for the day's ride.
I can't wait for the next trip. - Allan Beiswenger, Anchorage, Alaska
