We visited from our cruise ship, but did not book this thru the cruise line. The scenery on the bus ride to the ranch is definitely stunning, but there are other ways to see this. The horseback ride is an approx 2 hour ride thru very dusty, wooded trails. Other than one very nice overlook of the emerald lake, basically... More

My husband and I booked a 3 hour horseback riding trip with Emerald Lake Ranch on Tuesday, May 26, 2009. We were greeted by Joni upon our arrival. This was a great ranch and we were so excited to get onto the horses. She has about 20 horses and had about 14 of them at the ranch since we were... More

The area truly is beautiful. But I wouldnt suggest going with "Emerald Lake Ranch". The guide Joni didn't seem to handle her staff well and the horses didn't look great either. The place looked unorganized and messy. While I expect there to be horse poop, there could have been more effort made to "clean up". Wouldn't do this again. More

EMERALD LAKE A GREAT RIDE! I have been going to the Yukon since 1994, the first time I rode horses in the Yukon was at the Emerald Lake Ranch in 2004 and have been coming back ever since. COULDN'T believe the review by Milwaukee who stated it was a waste of $$ and time! I have ridden horses all my... More

Fellow Travlers of Alaska, I loved it up there, from what I have seen was georgious!!! The water is beautifully blue, the air is fresh and amazingly refreshing and the 360 panaroramic views are something to behold. Our camera didn't do this place justice but I may try and post some photos later. We came in with Southeast Tours from... More

I am a local in Carcross who has had the opportunity to ride at the Emerald Lake Ranch several times over the past 3 years with my 2 boys. Joni has been our guide on many great adventures & has taken us out on several different trail rides to view old trappers cabins, waterfalls, a moose pasture, train tracks &... More

Emerald lake ranch is a waste of time and money. The short 45 minute ride is back and forth down the same trails through the wood, A ride like this can be taken anywhere. The 16 year old guide indicated they never see any wild life as advertised. The view of Emerald lake is better from the road where there... More

June 17, 2007 We just returned from a trip to Alaska and the Yukon. One of the highlights was our afternoon spent riding with Joni, the owner of Emerald Lake Ranch. We had a two hour ride with just Joni, my husband and myself and it was wonderful! She was a good guide sharing information about the area, pointing out... More
