You are welcome to stay wherever you’d like as long as you are at 1) orientation the evening before your trip and 2) your trip’s designated pickup location ready for departure the morning your trip begins. We recommend the most convenient lodging, which is usually where orientation is held and where group transportation will pick up and drop off guests before and after the trip. The towns where we begin and end our trip have no taxi options like Uber or Lyft, so staying in the recommended lodging is especially convenient for our Alaska trips.
