| Double Exposure Tour Details | ||
We've combined two of our popular 3-day trips to give you a great sample of Alaskan adventure. Not quite as challenging as our Extreme Week trips but sure to be fun and exciting. Day 1 – We’ll meet in Anchorage, and after a gear check and orientation, we'll look for Beluga Whales, bald eagles, and mountain goats as we take one of the most scenic drives in the world. We’ll drive THROUGH a mountain to the unique small town of Whittier, the gateway to Prince William Sound. The afternoon will be spent paddling past waterfalls and bird rookeries, a short hike and then on to our campsite in the rainforest. Day 2 - We head into Blackstone Bay where we paddle close to several huge tidewater glaciers. It's a full day paddling but we still have time to enjoy ourselves and look for wildlife. Day 3 – Finally we’ll reach our goal. Blackstone Glacier is an actively calving glacier and if we’re lucky while we’re watching for falling ice, we might see some seals playing in the icebergs. We’ll be picked up at a nearby beach by water taxi to take us on a quick ride back to town. Now we’ll head north toward the Matanuska Valley. On the way we’ll stop in Anchorage for dinner at one of our favorite spots. Enjoy a shower and a night in a bed at an inn or B&B.

Day 4 - We'll drive above tree-line to explore the great hiking opportunities in the high alpine areas of the Talkeetna mountains. Tonight you'll enjoy an Alaskan-style barbecue at our homestead and Base Camp...and soak those hiking muscles in our wood-fired hot tub. Day 5 - An early start and spectacular drive up the Matanuska Valley. You'll soon be trekking on the Matanuska Glacier, explore crevasses, hidden lakes and unique ice formations. Later in the afternoon you'll enjoy rafting the big and cold river flowing from the glacier that carved (and named) this spectacular playground. Spend the night camping with a great view of the glacier and join our Guides for dinner at "sunset". Day 6 is for ice climbing, and our step by step approach will have you getting vertical in no time. A fun challenge with fantastic photo ops. Great views! Back to Anchorage at the end of the day.
