Any travel agent will be able to help you. There will be no bathroom facilities, garbage cans, designated camping areas, etc. Everything we pack in will be packed out and we will minimize our impact by carrying stoves and only building small fires when appropriate. All participants will learn more about minimum impact skills at one of our pre-trip meetings. We will make decisions as one group, travel as one group, and share the work to be done equally as one group.
Portages are hard work.
Everyone will be expected to carry his or her share. Please note that if you are the independent sort who prefers to do things alone, this trip will not meet your needs. You should be able to comfortably carry a 75lb. canoe with one other person a distance of a mile. There will be approximately 12 portages varying in length up to one mile with level or moderately hilly terrain. Also, the weather is unpredictable in Alaska and there may be times when it remains cold, damp and rainy for several days and one should be both physically and mentally prepared for these types of conditions.
