S’more roasting, puppy snuggling and a railroad adventure on Turnagain Arm are a just a few of our Alaskan favorites...
6. ON PROTECTING WILDLIFE & WILDERNESS On today’s visit to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving Alaska’s wildlife through education, you’ll be introduced to the orphaned animals being cared for at this rehabilitation center. Think moose and musk ox, bald eagles and grizzly bears. From here, it’s a short trip to Crow Creek Gold Mine, where you’ll learn about this historic mine and the art of gold panning and platinum prospecting. At the turn of the 20th century, “gold fever” brought scads of hopeful miners to this area in search of untold riches. You’ll meet a prospector, pan for gold and enjoy a barbecue lunch. Tonight, enjoy a fun presentation on mountain climbing and the gear required for safety and comfort; you’ll also learn how outdoor adventures can be personally amazing yet have minimal impact on the natural environment.

7. WONDERS BY RAIL & CRUISING Today it’s all aboard the Alaska Railroad to travel along the breathtaking shores of Turnagain Arm to Whittier. Here a boat waits to take you off on an exciting private cruise on Blackstone Bay in Prince William Sound. You’ll cruise past thundering waterfalls and spectacular glaciers, some towering as high as 1,700 feet above the boat. Listen to the sounds the glaciers make as they groan and crack; stop to touch some real glacial ice; and keep an eye out for eagles, otters and harbor seals along the way. En route back to your hotel, you’ll travel through the Whittier Tunnel, the second longest highway tunnel in North America. Tonight, join us for a great time swapping stories of your adventures at our farewell reception and dinner. Meals BLD
