2 HOUR TALKEETNA RIVER
NATURAL HISTORY FLOAT TRIP
Few places in the world can
equal the scale and beauty of Mt. McKinley and the
Alaska Range. On this two hour narrated Talkeetna River
Natural History Float Trip, you will see spectacular
vistas of this magnificent scenery. Explore the lower
end of the famous Talkeetna River, which is steeped in
history and the Alaskan pioneering spirit.
At the river's edge, you will participate in a brief
safety lecture before launching and floating down six to
eight miles of pristine river. The Talkeetna river is a
glacier-fed waterway teeming with salmon and other
wildlife. Our guides are versed in describing the flora,
fauna, and scenery along the way. We will look for
bears, eagles, fish, beavers, moose, fox, and waterfowl
during this float. We will stop to visit two active Bald
Eagles' nests, see beaver dams, look for bear tracks,
and float past an old miner's cabin... all before
joining the Mighty Susitna River for the loop back to
Talkeetna.
On the Susitna River, there is a stunning view of Mt.
McKinley (20, 320') and the entire Alaska Range. On
clear days, the view is amazing. There will be plenty of
opportunities to take photos! For a small additional
fee, we have a professional photographer available to
take pictures of you, the raft, and your guide – with a
stunning backdrop of Mt. McKinley!
Departure Times:
8:30am, 11:00am, 2:00pm, 5:30pm

4 HOUR CHULITNA RIVER
RAFT TOUR
Rafting through the pristine
wildlands of Denali State Park (and the borderlands of
Denali National Park), you will see vistas and
magnificent scenery most folks just read about or
experience via magazines. The raft launch is at mile 133
of the George Parks Highway. Your trip will begin here
or in Talkeetna, depending upon where you are staying.
(We provide complimentary transportation from
Talkeetna.)
At the river's edge, you will participate in a brief
safety lecture and demonstration before launching and
floating the nineteen miles of the glacial-fed Chulitna
back to Talkeetna. Throughout the float, a stunning view
of Mt. McKinley (20,320') and the entire Alaska Range
provide a spectacular backdrop. This remote portion of
the Chulitna River is prime Bald Eagle, Bear, Salmon and
Moose habitat. On clear days, the view is unparalleled
for photo opportunities. For a small additional fee, we
even have a professional photographer available to take
pictures of you, your raft & guide – with this
magnificent vista in the background!

and 1pm |
