Wild Alaska

August 11-20, 2020

Alaska is a unique and fascinating destination for those wishing to encounter the “Last Frontier” through a variety of activities, such as hiking, rafting, kayaking and boating. From your start in Anchorage, transfer to Talkeetna, a small outpost town nestled at the base of North America’s tallest peak, Denali. Our knowledgeable naturalist guides practice responsible tourism and facilitate your active explorations of the breathtaking scenery, biological wonders, and glacier-carved mountains. Fly over Chugach National Forest to Cordova, a “hidden treasure” coastal town nestled at the head of Orca Inlet in Eastern Prince William Sound. Myriad activities take you into the natural grandeur of glaciers, lakes and rivers.
