Anchorage
is the base of operations for this Alaskan Wilderness Multi-Sport adventure. The
trip starts with a scenic bike ride along turquoise-colored Eklutna Lake. Views
of towering mountains and distant glaciers are punctuated by valley wildlife
like Dall sheep, moose, and eagles. After a hiking to a waterfall, a scenic
flight to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and the Kennicott Glacier Lodge set
spectacularly at the foot of Root Glacier begins day two. Two days are needed to
hike, and explore the region with an expert naturalist guide. Another option is
to spend a day of introductory ice climbing or glacier hiking. Day four starts
with a spectacular drive through Wrangell-St. Elias National Park to Vladez,
"Alaska's Little Switzerland." Here the tour gets wet rafting on the Class
III-IV Tsaina River through narrow gorges and past waterfalls. Valdez is the
gateway to Prince William Sound. Day five is spent learning the basics of kayak
paddling and exploring the Sound's shoreline and spectacular tidewater glaciers.
Day six provides an unforgettable Alaskan experience, a ferry ride across Prince
William Sound, surrounded by mountains, forests, and tidewater glaciers. Keep
alert for whales, sea otters, seals, sea lions, eagles and clouds of sea birds.
Then hike in either Winner Creek Gorge, exploring the northernmost temperate
rain forest in North America or Byron Glacier. The tour ends in Anchorage, with
satisfied nature and sports enthusiasts who have truly lived the ultimate
Alaskan experience.
