Itinerary
Kick things off with a four-day backpacking trip through the towering peaks nearby, building core backcountry skills along the way, from traveling comfortably with a pack to selecting and setting up camp, sourcing and purifying water, and cooking over a backpacking stove.
After backpacking, spend a day floating the glacial waters of the Matanuska River. From there, continue honing outdoor living skills on a backcountry sea kayaking session in Prince William Sound, spending four days paddling through pristine waters among stunning glaciers and abundant wildlife. Develop real outdoor skills and create memories that last a lifetime on this Alaskan adventure.
