What’s Included? Everything you need, plus everything you want.
-
Bear viewing in Katmai: You have four days to be with the bears of Katmai. The guides at your idyllic wilderness lodge know the bears' habits, seasonal routines, and personalities, and soon you will too.
-
Active exploration: Hiking, glacier walks with crampons, kayaking and canoeing, optional fishing—you're out in it on this trip, way out.
-
Bird's-eye Alaska views: Small planes are a way of life in Alaska, and you'll thrill to some super scenic flights-including through Lake Clark Pass over glaciers and streams, and into the jaw-dropping mountain kingdom of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.
-
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park & Preserve: This vast wilderness park (the biggest in the U.S.) is like an Alaska within Alaska with its mountain ranges, glaciers, and rivers. It is splendid isolation cushioned by a comfortable lodge with a big front porch.
