Horseback Riding the Switchbacks

Many times when we head down the switchbacks at the head of the bay, there is a pickup truck with a horse trailer parked at the trailhead at the top of the switchbacks. Horseback riding to the head of the bay is a fun activity for those who want to get a sense of the wilderness near Homer. We were actually 4-wheeling when we took these pictures; the horses and 4-wheelers have to co-exist but in most areas there is lots of space to spread out. The trail rides take folks up to the area where the Kilcher's let their cattle roam, which folks can see in the Alaska reality show, The Last Frontier.
