Where the trails begin, and adventure never ends... Alaska Horse Adventures takes pride in serving the visitors and residents of Alaska. We offer a very unique horseback ride: from beginners and first time riders to the advanced horse person. We are thrilled to be able to take advantage of the great outdoors and adventures that Alaska has to offer!
Experience a four stage horseback ride on a lively, well trained horse. While riding through the open woods with big cottonwood trees and a variety of native plants, be on the lookout for porcupines, birds, moose, and many little critters that often travel along the trail! After meandering through the woods, you’ll arrive at the beach of the river with a panoramic view of mountains, the Knik Glacier, and Pioneer Peak towering above the beautiful beach and sand dunes that stretch for miles alongside the Knik River flowing from the Knik Glacier. Then, circle back through big meadows on the backside of the swamp lakes heading back to the ranch.
Do you want an exciting, fast paced ride? Or perhaps, a calm, leisurely ride? Let us know your needs and wants, and we will try to accommodate you the best we can! From engagements, anniversaries, birthday parties, date ride, family enrichment, date packs, to horse-drawn nostalgia, Alaska Horse Adventures has it all. Can’t wait to have you join us!

CHILD CARE PROVIDERS CHANGE THE WORLD
ONE CHILD AT A TIME!
JBERLife! interviewed Child and Youth staff to learn more about their 10+ years working within Child and Youth Programs.
What does being a Child and Youth Program staff member mean to you?
Being part of a team where everyone is learning, teaching, and growing together is what makes this work so rewarding.
– Jessica Camacho
Working for CYP has meant different things over the years, but for the longest time, it has felt like being part of a close-knit and supportive family.
– Rebecca Chappell
Having kids in the program gives me a deep appreciation for the trust families place in us. Being able to offer that same safety net to other parents, knowing their children are safe, supported, and genuinely cared for, means everything to me.
– Brittany Tillman
I enjoy when the children I had grow up into adults and come back to visit me, it reminds me of the influence I had on them was good.
– Maria Hudson
“It feels good to be part of a big happy family.”
– Benedict Balean
What about your job working with JBER Youth inspires/impacts you the most?
Seeing the little kids eat and interact at the table, make me forget about the other problems in the world.
– Benedict Balean
Serving meals for the military kids inspires me the most especially when I see them smiling, shouting
“Thank you Mr. Fred!”
– Federico Nardo
The meaningful connections I build with military families, staff and peers is satisfying to my career.
– Stacey Dougherty
They become apart of our family and us apart of them. To be just a small part of their story means the world.
– Samantha Winkelman
Knowing that the littlest of interactions can make a lasting impact is what helps motivate me to work with JBER Youth Programs.
– Rhonda Felix
