Not
a tour, but an intense one-week course No experience is needed but this challenging trip will also provide experienced outdoors people with a lot of Alaska-specific knowledge as well as a fully supported week of backpacking in the mountains. A great way to start an adventure vacation in Alaska. Now offered as a Fly-In adventure! We'll use a small Alaskan bush plane to fly us, one at a time, to a remote landing strip in the Talkeetna mountains. A great opportunity to really get away from it all and experience the real Alaska. This program is somewhat different than most of our one-week trips in that your Exposure Guides take on more of an instructor & facilitator role. The group takes on more decision making, route finding & camp chores as they gain hands-on experience. On Day 1 we'll pick you up in Anchorage and, after a gear check, we'll head out to the Matanuska Glacier for a day of ice climbing. That evening at our Base Camp we'll gear up for an early start on our backcountry adventure the next day. The flight in to our remote landing strip will be a highlight of your adventure. Exact routes vary but you'll be spending 5 full days in the backcountry; carrying everything you need on your back, and traveling through forests and into alpine areas. Each day will bring new challenges and learning opportunities. |
