Nellie Juan glacier is in very active retreat which translates into lots of calving and numerous animals seek out the protection of the lagoon behind our base camp for refuge. At the right time of year black bears hunt the spawning salmon and the high country is wide open for exploring countless lakes and ponds. This can be a very relaxing trip on the beach or a trip packed with activities - you make the call. Your Itinerary: Day 1: Trip begins in Anchorage with a drive down the very scenic Seward Highway to Whittier. We board our water taxi for a 1 1/2 hr ride south to Derickson Bay and establish our base camp on the spit. This is really an incredible area. Either paddle or hike in the afternoon.
