Course Description:

'' An Alaska Backpacking course is a wilderness expedition in every sense, allowing you to explore beautiful landscapes in either the Talkeetna Mountains, the Alaska Range, or Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, where the trees disappear and the land stretches into alpine tundra plains with a backdrop of rugged and heavily eroded mountains. Up here where it’s still light at midnight, you’ll follow the tracks of the seasonal caribou migration.

How to hike on tundra; identify the birds, flowers, wildlife, and plants of the North Country; and keep warm, dry, and happy even when it’s wet are all part of your backcountry curriculum.

You’ll become a seasoned wilderness traveler, learning how to read a map, navigate off trail, and scan the horizon for grizzly, black bears, moose, wolves, and Dall sheep.
