Start your journey in Anchorage and travel directly to Denali National Park to view nature in its timeless state. Home of Mt McKinley, the tallest peak in North America you have a chance to view Dall sheep, caribou, marmots, grizzly bears and wolves. Although sightings cannot be guaranteed this park is the place to see these wild animals in their element.
Your campsite is ideally set in a campground on the border of the park. Opt to enjoy river rafting, take a quiet walk on one of the many nature trails or observe dog sled demonstrations.
Your next two days are free. Take time to explore the backcountry for scenic views of the taiga and tundra, catch glimpses of the local wildlife or try out one of the limitless hikes. After your three-day stop, begin your journey again on the old Denali Highway across the foot of the Alaska mountain range where you will spend the night in a rustic cabin. Experience this bird lover’s paradise while enjoying the quiet lakes. Watch for caribou or even try your hand at fishing for grayling.
After your cabin stay, rise to follow the pipeline into the centre of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Set up camp on the Kennicott River with a beautiful view of Root Glacier and Mount Blackburn. Another free day allows you plenty of time to explore the historic wilderness area from McCarthy to Kennicott. Spend your time hiking, sightseeing, mountain biking or taking a walk on a glacier.
Continue your journey south, as you travel up the Thompson Pass on your way to the coastal town of Valdez. Valdez is the northern most ice free port in the Western hemisphere. This town marks the end of the Alaskan pipeline and is tucked at the end of a glacier carved fjord. The best way to see the town and the beautiful Prince William Sound is by optional sea kayaking, an experience not to be passed up.
After your two-night stop, follow the coast around the Chugach Mountain Range on your way to Seward. This colourful fishing village offers a great number of outdoor activities such as hiking the Exit Glacier, a boat tour of the Kenai Fjords National Park or fishing on Resurrection Bay. Camp by the sea and take in the spectacular views of this rugged coastline.
This coast is well known for its population of sea mammals, native birds, the tidewater glaciers and icebergs. You will see this amazing coastline on your included boat tour to truly experience the majesty of the animals and glaciers.
Continue down the Kenai Peninsula to Homer where you will catch a boat to your luxurious wilderness camp. This camp sits ideal on the Kachemak Bay and is surrounded by the stunning Kenai Mountains. Here you will have your final chance to experience the Alaskan wilderness with activities such as hiking, beach combing, sea kayaking and biking. You will also experience the tastes of this region including a salmon bake amongst many other home-cooked meals. Soak up the breathtaking views before you return to Anchorage to end this amazing journey.
