Trek Notes

Our Alaska trips pass through rugged terrain and isolated areas. Some areas will have spartan facilities and little nightlife.

BLT Accommodation

We use a combination of hostels, hotels and camping cabins on the Alaskan BLT. Most cabins are multi-share rooms sleeping 4 to 6 people with shared facilities and hostel nights are generally arranged on a single sex, multi-share basis, subject to availability. Where possible we will keep the group together and try to accommodate couples; however twin rooms cannot be guaranteed. A sleeping bag is required on the trip.

Day 1-2: Anchorage & Wrangell-St. Elias National Park

Leaving Anchorage we test the challenging McCarthy Road, heading north past the massive Mantanuska Glacier. This humongous expanse claims Alaska's wild crown hands down. Untended trails, unpaved roads and unending views for the next 2 days are exactly what you signed up for! As the Wrangell Mountains cast their lengthy shadow, ready yourself for some top-notch glacier action. How about a guided hike on the Kennecott Glacier, or for a more vertical challenge, grab the axe for ice climbing on Root Glacier.
Accommodation: Budget lodging included

Day 3: Tangle Lakes

Great name and great place to chill out after the challenging, yet scenic, drive along the Alaska Mountain Range, crossing the famous 800-mile-long Alaskan Pipeline. Lake-splattered green plains stretch to distant mountains, and some wilderness canoeing should up your pulse rate.
Accommodation: Budget lodging included

Day 4-5: Denali National Park

You'll be glad summer puts in so many overtime hours of daylight this far north. It's time to get stuck into the vast expanse of Denali National Park. Travel the lone road in this awe-inspiring national park for two full days of endless views and hiking opportunities. Snap a few shots of moose, caribou, fox and of course grizzly bear on our scenic bus ride and hike in the shadows of Mt. McKinley. Standing at over 20,320 feet, North America's highest mountain dominates every view on a blue sky day.
Accommodation: Budget lodging included

Day 6-7: Kenai Fjord National Park & Seward

Make your way down to the coastal town of Seward, known for its unbeatable and spectacular mountain and bay scenery, as well as its location to Kenai Fjords National Park. Seward offers loads of both land-based and marine wildlife as well as a wonderful selection of tours, cruises and activities to make the most of your time here which you are bound to enjoy. Why not head out on a cruise to further explore Kenai Fjords National Park.
Accommodation: Budget lodging included

Day 8-9: Homer

Found at the head of Resurrection Bay on the Kenai Peninsula and made famous for its access to bear and whale viewing and made famous as 'The End of the Road' in Tom Bodett's tales. Homer is at the end of the Sterling Highway surrounded by wilderness and ocean, also called "the cosmic hamlet by the sea" and is a picturesque town with a bustling harbour and dramatic surrounding scenery. It is the perfect place for you to taste some of the local activities to make the most of your time. Among these include sea fishing and kayaking which rate among the top things to do in this area.
Accommodation: Budget lodging included

With pockets full of postcards and memories we're back from the wilderness. Hit the malls, live music spots or funky Alaskan themed pubs to round off your trip in style.
