Besides memorable paddling, there are outstanding hikes. One is to a salmon spawning lake and the other is up a series of stepped ridges that take us right to the edge of Nellie Juan glacier. The massive pinnacles of ice and the quiet bay below are an unforgettable sight. At 6 pm we have an orientation meeting. Trip leaders will distribute waterproof gear bags and give advice on how to pack for your trip.
Hotel is included.
Early departure for the scenic 1 hour drive from Anchorage to Portage. We'll drive along Turnigan Arm which has the 2nd highest tides in the world. In Portage we board the Alaska Railroad for the short ride to Whittier and Prince William Sound. In Whittier we load the kayaks and gear on the charter boat. A 1 hour boat trip takes us to our comfortable base camp.
