Hike,
Bike, Sea Kayak, Raft and Ice Climb in Alaska's Wilderness
Experience the majestic beauty of Alaska as we immerse ourselves
in a land of crystal glaciers, endless coastline, and abundant wildlife.
Exploring this rugged wilderness by land, air and water, we bike along
lakes, hike through meadows, raft Class III-IV whitewater, sea kayak
the majestic Prince William Sound, and fly into the very heart of
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Sample the spirit of adventure that
defines the Alaskan experience.
Contact me for a full detailed trip outline.
Day 1 Eklutna Lake-Matanuska Valley. Starting in Anchorage,
we begin our adventure with a scenic bike ride along the shores of
turquoise colored Eklutna Lake, followed by a shuttle to our secluded
getaway in the Matanuska River Valley.
Days 2-4 Kennicott-Wrangell St. Elias. We drive to Chitina
and board a scenic flight to Kennicott, set in the heart of Wrangell
St. Elias National Park, recently recognized as a World Heritage Site
for its extraordinary beauty. We then explore a ghost town and, if
you choose, don crampons and an ice axe to learn the basics of ice
climbing under the care of our expert instructors. Prefer to hike?
Join us on one of Wrangell-St. Elias' classic trails to Root Glacier
and Bonanza Mine.
Days 5-6 Valdez-Prince William Sound. We transfer along the
unbelievably dramatic Richardson Highway to Valdez, "Alaska's
Little Switzerland." After an awesome rafting excursion along
the Tsaina River, we sea kayak the well-protected fjords and glaciers
of Prince William Sound, one of Alaska's great natural preserves.
Day 7 Girdwood. Embark on a ferry ride across Prince William
Sound, where whales, otters, and seals frolic among floating icebergs.
After a rainforest hike in Winner Creek Gorge and a hand-tram across
the chasm, we conclude in Anchorage.
