Using aircraft allows you to get into the backcountry of this spectacular park. Spend your valuable vacation time out in the Alaska you've dreamed of - instead of sitting in a van for hours and hours. If you're considering a visit to this park, remember that it's a LONG drive from Anchorage.

Challenge Level: 4-5; Extremely remote camping. Long day hikes. Some backpacking.

No experience required but you must be over 18, in good physical condition and prepared for the challenges of the Alaska backcountry. Due to the extremely remote nature of this trip, participants should be in excellent health.

You should have an adventurous spirit and flexible attitude to join this expedition. Flights could be delayed due to weather. We will have no communication with the "outside world" from the backcountry.

We'll start the week with a day ice climbing on the Matanuska Glacier, it's right on the way and just shouldn't be missed.

Details

Day 1 - We'll pick you up at your hotel in Anchorage and after a gear check we'll head north to the Matanuska Glacier for a day learning the art and skill of ice climbing.

Day 2 - This is a big travel day. Unlike many operators we'll fly from Chitina to McCarthy and avoid hours bouncing down the roughest part of the drive.

Days 3-7 - The next phase of the adventure involves switching to small bush planes to get us into the backcountry. We'll cross rivers, hike above treeline, look for wildlife and enjoy the magnificent scenery for 5 full days.
