Tour Itinerary:
Day 1: Arrive in Anchorage - Transportation from the airport to your hotel will be available. Overnight downtown Anchorage hotel.
Day 2: After a gear check and orientation, we'll look for Beluga Whales, bald eagles, and mountain sheep as we travel along one of the most scenic drives in the world to our kayak put-in on the Prince William Sound. The afternoon will be spent kayaking past waterfalls and bird rookeries to our campsite in the rainforest.
Day 3: Spending the day kayaking, the goal is Blackstone Bay where huge tidewater glaciers await. A great way to spend the day there will also be plenty of time to look for wildlife along the way.
Day 4: After a short paddle you'll be picked up by a water taxi for a quick ride back to Whittier. Traveling back to Anchorage for dinner we will then continue north to the Matanuska Valley where you'll enjoy a bed and hot shower in a historic inn.
Day 5: Up early to today and off to explore the Matanuska Glacier. You'll use mountaineering crampons to explore the glacier and try out the exciting frozen vertical world of ice climbing. At the end of the day we'll have an Alaskan-style barbecue and a night at our Base Camp; complete with a soak in our wood-fired hot tub.
Day 6/8: It's time to head into the backcountry for three days of hiking and mountaineering. Exact locations depend on weather and trail conditions, the abilities of the team, and our un-ending motivation to explore new areas!
You will be dropped off at your hotel in downtown Anchorage for the evening
