Why
travel Alaska by River?
Just
as the original explorers of Alaska realized, travelling in this
vast county by any means other than boat is next to impossible.
Roads and highways are few and far between. Air travel is weather
dependent, expensive and limited. Alaska's National Parks and
Wilderness area's prohibit use of these motorized means of travel
in most instances anyway.
With todays
modern rafting equipment we experience the wilderness much the
same way as Alaska's original pioneer explorers Allen, Abercrombie,
Brooks and Hayes to name just a fiew. Unlike these early explorers,
however, we are able to bring many creature comforts on our expeditions:
Gourmet meals, folding lounge chairs, cocktail hour and hors d'ouvres.
Spectacular
day-hiking areas are accessed without heavy backpacks and long
approaches. Our complete and enclosed camp kitchens produce mouth
watering meals regardless of weather conditions. Rafts provide
an ideal platform from which wildlife is easily observed and photographed
in a silent and unobtrusive manner. Rafts are the ultimage means
of low-impact wilderness travel. Why rough it living out of a
backpack when rafts allow you to cover more miles, carry more
gear and see more country while enjoying gourmet meals cooked
at a beachfront campsite.
Mankind has yet to come up with a more comfortable or
less strenuous method of low-impact wilderness travel.
This
year let us take you Alaska river rafting.
