My wife and I did full day float trip with Phil on our honeymoon in August 2020. She had never caught a fish on a fly rod and is now ruined for good after hooking into rainbows and dolly varden all day! The upper Kenai is an amazing river and an experience we’ll always remember. Phil took us out at first light to try for silver salmon and we enjoyed the sunrise on the river. We shared the boat with his dog Kai, who loves a good float trip. Thanks for a great time Phil and we would definitely recommend booking a trip with him at Lake View Outfitters if you are in Cooper Landing.

Trying to describe a pack-trip with Alaska Horseman is like trying to define Love, the feeling you get when you’re in your Home surrounded by Family, or the view from your favorite Mountain Top. Like pictures, words just can’t describe to another person what you have experienced. If you think you want to take a day-ride, take an overnight trip. If you like the idea of an overnight trip, signup for a 4-day adventure. If you’re like me and thought 4-days in the mountains with horses would be enough, you’re going to want to stay a lifetime. This isn’t a glamping trip, yet you will be more than well taken care. Every detail is thought out and planned for, including the moments to find your inner-self, a connection with the mountains, or a camaraderie with the people, horses, and wildlife that share your space. Alex, is Alaska, guts and grit, with a soul that matches the grandeur of the landscape and an aura that will make you want to follow him anywhere, with ease. One with horses and mountains, true horseman, someone who can’t be captured with words. Joey, natural horseman, young spirit and old soul, kind and caring to the bone. Besides mastering his camp culinary skills and cowboy coffee, which matches perfectly with your surroundings, you can feel that Joey is sensing and watching everything around him to make everyone’s experience a life-long dream. When he speaks, you’re captivated by his humbleness and when he’s silent, your still drawn to his humbleness. He’s the kind of young man that knows you want a hot cup of coffee before you think it; who will do something without your knowing, that will make your moment better, safer, remembered. Randy, cowboy and conversationalist, subtle, and sometimes not, humor, a caring person that will draw you out if you’re willing, well read on many subjects of human nature. You’ll remember gatherings around the campfire with Randy and maybe he’ll convince you to go on a 500-mile cattle drive. Lastly, the horses, true mountain horses, that are a reflection of the Alaska Horsemen. It’s impossible not to connect with their being. You become one as you move through the trails, high mountain tundra, and rocky slopes. Like Alex, Joey, and Randy, they are looking out for you and they’ll help you experience some amazing things. Thank you for bringing my daughter and I closer together, for sharing a piece of you with us, we’re forever changed by Alaska. Hey, to Crocket and Winchester!
