Explore
Alaska opens up to wonder from awe-inspiring to subtle. There are so many ways to meet Alaska on it’s own terms. They all involve opening the senses to the movement and play of light. The sounds—from a roar to profound quiet. The fragrance of the forest. The taste of fresh seafood. Alaska awaits you.
Get out of town
Let us count the ways: hike to where the street turns into a trail. Bicycle to where the traffic dies down. Kayak beyond the harbor. Charter a guide and boat. Charter a float plane. Rent a Forest Service cabin. Charter a small boat cruise. Read, listen, imagine the wild of Alaska.
Guides
John Muir, quintessential Alaskan explorer, began most of his explorations with knowledgable guides. His first guides were Tlingits, open and willing to work with this tall, intrepid naturalist. Today, whether fishing or exploring, Alaska has an abundance of first-rate guides. They can make all the difference.
Boats & planes
Alaska’s wilderness is vast. Modern means of transport sometimes involves roads, but more often than not, chartering a boat, floatplane or chopper is the way to go. Professional standards are world class. Go for it.
