Horse Back Riding

After the exertion of our hike, we decided to take a family tail ride, and had a lovely time riding through Alaska's countryside on horseback. I was a bit nervous as this was only my second time on a horse (and the first time was 12 years earlier).



Over the course of about two hours we rode through a forest, along a grass covered airplane runway, up a steep hillside, and then reversed direction and went back. Right near the end the skies opened up and we rode in the pouring rain. It got slippery and muddy, but the horses didn't care and it was pretty exciting.
