Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full
From Anchorage, we’ll travel along the scenic Seward Highway. One of only 13 highways in the US with the distinction of “All American Road”. Along the way, we will have great opportunities to view and photograph wildlife and scenic vistas. First, we stop at the beautiful Hotel Alyeska and the ski town of Girdwood. Take an optional scenic tram to the top of Mt Alyeska for lunch with a view. The next stop is stunning Portage Valley, home to hanging glaciers, beautiful waterfalls, and Portage Lake. And finally, a stop in at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (extra expense), a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving Alaska’s wildlife. The AWCC takes in injured and orphaned animals year-round, providing spacious enclosures and quality animal care. Here you can view and photograph up close Alaska’s iconic animals that are unable to be released into the wild. Afterward, head back to Anchorage and enjoy a narrated city tour including all the best dining places.
