Itinerary
What follows is a general flow of events. Expect the unexpected and prepare to be flexible.
August 2
Meet your guide at 9 am at the Arctic Wild World Headquarters for a pre-trip orientation. Once questions have been answered and equipment checked, we will start our drive into the Mountains. Its a 4-1/2 hr drive to the Wrangells from Fairbanks with lots of interesting stops on the way. We can take a hike, fish a side creek and enjoy the scenery as we head southeast along the Richardson Highway to the town of Chistochina. Once we arrive we are greeted by our hosts who operate the Red Eagle Lodge.
August 3
The adventure begins in earnest. After enjoying breakfast at the lodge our pilot shuttles us into the mountains one at a time and by mid-day we have camp set-up and can take our first hike in the mountains.
August 4 - August 7
Days (and nights) are yours to do as you please. With thousands of acres to ourselves the limit to our adventures are few.
August 8
One last walk to the river, one last scan for sheep above camp and it is time to pack-up and head back to Chistochina where our vehicle waits. If the weather cooperates we can be back in Fairbanks in the evening, ready for the next adventure.
