“My vacation time in Alaska must involve wildlife viewing and lots of time in the saddle. The challenge in early 2008 was to find an outfitter that could “deliver” a wilderness experience that would meet or exceed one that my twin brother, Ron, and I enjoyed in the Denali area in 2000. Using the internet, I discovered Alaska Horsemen just outside Cooper Landing on the Kenai Peninsula of Alaska.
Alex Kime, the owner of this outfit, did not disappoint. In fact, he more than delivered what he had promised my brother and me prior to our sending him our deposits on our planned vacation. Alex has a “first rate” business and an equally “first rate” location. He is an extremely experienced outfitter and guide as well as a well-respected employer with an excellent and very accommodating staff. He has a stable of well cared for horses that are very trailworthy. Alex can offer guided ½ day and full-day rides into the spectacular wild country above Kenai Lake, pack trips into the Kenai mountains of the Chugach National Forest, and guided fishing trips with excellent and very experienced guides on the Kenai River. Alex can also take you into other more remote locations.
Alex is the “real deal.” His concern for the comfort and enjoyment of his guests is obvious with everything he does. His attention to detail is most impressive. He respects the varied talents of his staff and has, i.m.o., an above-average concern for the welfare of his livestock. Furthermore, Alex is most fortunate to share his “little bit of paradise”, rich in wildlife and spectacular vistas, with individuals like us. We were “The Alaska Horsemen” for 8 glorious days!”
