Nepal

Alaska has captured the imagination of many over the years. The glacially carved fjords offer a stark contrast to the jagged peaks that rise directly off the ocean to tower some 6,000' above. Lush fields of wildflowers split by glacially fed streams span across the alpine tundra of the Yukon.

Alaska and the Yukon has some of the best terrain in North America for learning a variety of outdoor skills. The area offers world-class sea kayaking, rafting, trekking, and skiing. Our expedition center in Haines is an outstanding gateway for accessing this unparalleled wilderness area.
