Alaskan Hike - Extra departure

20th May 2008

Alaska is a true wilderness, where man's influence is still restricted to a few ports and old trading townships. The region contains many of North America's highest mountains and most spectacular scenery, with glaciers, forests, lakes and rushing rivers combining to offer some of the best hiking country on the continent. We will have excellent opportunities to see marine life as we travel through Prince William Sound to Valdez. Then, heading northwards, we visit the vast expanse of peaks and glaciers in the Wrangell-St Elias Mountains, before reaching Denali National Park and the highest peak in North America, Mt McKinley (6194m).

Departure date: Sat 23 Aug - Sun 7 Sep 08
