Itinerary
What follows is a general flow of events. Expect the unexpected and prepare to be flexible.
Day 0
Meet in Fairbanks at 4pm for a pre-trip meeting at the Arctic Wild World Headquarters.
Day 1
We depart Fairbanks early and drive up the Alaska Highway, almost to the Canadian border at the village of Tok. Here we board a small plane for the spectacular flight into Wrangell St. Elias National Park (2-1/2 hour flight). We land near the glacier and set-up camp.
Day 2 - 5
Rafting the Nabesna River. Paddle rafts keep everyone engaged as we navigate this spunky glacial river.Inflate the rafts and prepare for a day on the river. Paddling northward we leave the glacier behind and enter a world of water and stone. Once out of the mountains the forests grow rich and thick, waterfowl fill the air and the river relaxes it’s pace.
Day 6
Paddle the remaining miles into the village of Northway and meet our van for a ride back to Fairbanks.
