ALASKAN ADVENTURE

Starting the journey in Anchorage, your first stop is the incredible Denali National Park. Home to the highest mountain in North America and incredible wildlife including grizzly bears and moose, it's the perfect introduction to Alaska. From Wrangell-St. Elias, Valdez and the Kenai Peninsula, our final nights at a luxury wilderness camp will be sure to impress!

We begin by traveling to Denali National Park where nature survives in a timeless state. Surrounding the tallest mountain peak in North America, grizzly bears, caribou, Dall sheep, marmots and wolves, all roam the park. Activities such as river rafting, dog sled demonstrations or walking on a quiet nature trail are available near our lovely campground setting bordering the park. The following two days are free to explore the backcountry, which offers scenic views of the taiga and sub-arctic tundra, superb opportunities to view wildlife, and access to limitless hiking options for all fitness and adventure levels.
