Looking down into the valleys you will see creeks carving their own paths and creating small wetlands and ponds. With a bit of luck you might see moose, bear, eagles or even a wolf. The energetic huskies are anxious to leave summer camp behind to explore the nonstop activity of nature during Alaska's short summer. Daily hiking distance is approximately 8 miles on medium to difficult terrain, giving you plenty of time to relish the pristine nature in which you are venturing. In the evening you will overnight in a tent camp and enjoy delicious meals by camp fire.
Group size is small with a maximum of four guests.
Around the turn of the century Eagle was one of the centers to obtain provisions and transportation for many of the thousands of goldminers flooding central Alaska. Today, the old log cabins, Ft. Egbert and the historical museum bear witness to the frantic activity of a bygone era. Within such surroundings you can easily be transported back to those gold rush days. You will spend the night in the comfortable Falcon Inn, with a direct view out over the Yukon.
