Join Us for a 3-Day Alaskan Adventure: Glamping in Wild Alaska

Experience the untamed beauty of Alaska like never before. This tour offers a unique blend of outdoor exploration and cozy comfort in the heart of the Chugach Mountains.

Day 1: Paddle, Hike, and Yurt Life

Your adventure kicks off at 1 pm. We'll start with a guided kayak tour along beautiful Trail Lake before hitting the trail and hiking along the famed Iditarod National Historic Trail as we make our way over to stunning Grant Lake.

Settle into yurt life, explore our backcountry camp, and if you're up for more paddling, hop in a kayak and take in the expansive Grant Lake views from the water while your guide prepares a frontier-style dinner for you.

Day 2: Grant Lake Exploration and Camp Relaxation

Start your day with a hearty, cooked breakfast and then gear up for a guided kayak tour on Grant Lake. With abundant points of interest to explore and plenty of wildlife spotting potential, we’ll pack our lunches and snacks in the kayaks and embark on our adventure.

We'll had back to camp and relax around a campfire while enjoying another dinner prepared by your guide.

Inclusions: Guided Grant Lake kayak tour, breakfast, lunch, and dinner provided

Day 3: Back to Moose Pass

On your last morning, take the opportunity to listen to the loons and soak in the views of the turquoise waters of Grant Lake, while we have a light breakfast. Afterward, we'll pack up and head back down the trail to the historic little town of Moose Pass.

We aim to wrap up around 11:30 am.

Inclusions: Guided hike, kayak tour, and breakfast provided

Glamping: Alaska Style

Alaska, the Last Frontier, is known for its rugged beauty. Our "Alaskan Glamping" experiences let you dive into this untamed wilderness while enjoying the rustic charm of our backcountry camp.

Our handcrafted yurts keep you warm and dry, and our thick, expedition-style camp mattresses and warm sleeping bags guarantee a comfortable place to rest your head under the midnight sun.

And when nature calls, our outhouse comes with a bonus - stunning views of the Alaskan wilderness.

Get the best of both worlds: an adventure in the wild and a comfortable retreat.
