Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula Group Hiking Tour

Alaska, perhaps more than any other region in North America, is cloaked in a mystical aura that ignites the imagination. To some extent, that aura obviously is the product of Alaska’s incredible, incomparable natural beauty and physical magnificence. Its mountains, glaciers, coastline and wilderness are without equal.  Alaska’s irresistible attraction is that it symbolizes the “Last Frontier,” a last opportunity to experience the wilderness in its most pristine, unspoiled expression.  The start of the tour we travel down the Turnagain Arm of Cook Inlet and continue south to Seward, the gateway to Kenai Fjords National Park.  We break up the drive with a hike to an incredible waterfall, deep within the Alaskan wilderness.   A crown jewel of the tour is an all day boat tour into the icy waters and along the lush forests around the vast expanse of the Kenai Fjords.  The boat captain knows where to steer us to the best wildlife sitings and glacier viewing.  Next day we hike up into the Chugach Mountains to view the largest icefield entirely in the U.S. – Harding Icefield.  We will hike up to the edge of the Exit Glacier for an upclose view of the awe of ice.  After that we transfer to Alyeska resort, for a luxury resort experience.  It is here that we can hike a small portion of the famed Iditarod Trail, as well as other explorations of the area.  Our hikes include gorges, peaks, mountain lakes, box canyons, glaciers and icefields, and perhaps the opportunity to see a bear scramble through the brush of a mountain valley.
