Horse-Drawn Covered Wagon Ride with Backcountry Dining

Horse-Drawn Covered Wagon Ride with Backcountry Dining

Journey across Alaska's tundra the way the original pioneers did, by horse-drawn covered wagon, on this 3-hour excursion from Black Diamond Resort. Set out from Healy for this wagon trip across the northern border of Denali National Park, which takes you back through time to learn about the area’s historic and natural treasures. Bask in mountain scenery and then stop to enjoy a delicious back-country dining experience. Choose from several day and evening departure times, and relish the convenience of round-trip transport. 

Your exciting journey begins with pick-up from your hotel. Get to know your guide and driver as you travel north to a stunning Alaska lake with panoramic views, just minutes from Denali National Park.

Here, take the opportunity to stretch your legs before climbing aboard a covered, custom-built wagon that can accommodate up to 16 people. Then set out for a relaxing 45-minute journey along the northern side of Denali National Park’s boundary.

Your guide will regale you with facts about the area and details on its mining history as you enter the wilds of Alaska. Pass a few rustic cabins and see how local residents live. Keep an eye out for wildlife and bask in the surrounding scenery.

On arrival at the tour company pavilion, you'll disembark for a delicious family style meal and a chance to meet the two Draft horses that brought you to this remote location. Pose for pictures before re-boarding the wagon for your leisurely return trip.
