Founded in 1997 by Alex Kime and his daughter Gretchen, Alaska Horsemen Trail Adventures in Cooper Landing offers unique experiences in the Kenai Peninsula. Alex, an Oregon native who moved to Alaska in 1963, has over three decades of exploring this region on horseback. The business provides guiding and packing services in the Chugach National Forest and Kenai National Wildlife Refuge, along with cabin rentals and group retreats at their serene pioneer-style lodge. Inspired by the historical trails of natives and pioneers, Alaska Horsemen is named in honor of the early packers who navigated the Tustumena and Kenai Mountains by horseback, embodying the spirit of adventure and exploration. The Alaska Horsemen Lodge, located in Cooper Landing, offers a picturesque retreat amidst mountains and near Kenai Lake, just 100 miles from Anchorage. This small ranch features horseback riding, cozy cabin and wall tent accommodations, and RV parking, set in a tranquil environment perfect for various group events like corporate retreats, educational camps, and family reunions. Guests enjoy the calming presence of horses and the scenic trail rides, along with the exceptional hospitality of host Alex Kime, who has over 50 years of Alaskan adventures. The lodge's accommodations include cabins and wall tents for about 40 people, plus additional camping and RV spaces, all offering stunning mountain views. Its prime location is within walking distance to fishing spots, Kenai Beach, and local amenities, making it an ideal spot for a peaceful and authentic Alaskan experience.
