Description:
Alaska is a rare treasure. Few places on earth offer encounters with wildlife roaming free in its eternal domain, or awe-inspiring scenery caused by mountain and water, snow and ice, forest and tundra. Alaska, perhaps more than any other region in North America, is cloaked in a mystical aura that ignites the imagination. Its mountains, glaciers, coastline and wilderness are without equal in symbolizing the "Final Frontier", a last opportunity to experience the wilderness in its most pristine, unspoiled expression.

Day 1. Our adventure begins in Fairbanks, where we explore interior Alaskan history and culture as we cruise the Chena River.
Day 2-3. In Denali National Park, the crown jewel of America's national park system and larger than the state of Massachusetts, we will experience the wonders of nature through nature tours, white water rafting and of course, hiking (optional flight seeing is also available). The park is home to abundant wildlife including grizzlies, moose, caribou, dall sheep, golden eagles, wolves, arctic ground squirrels, and many other species indigenous to Alaska. Gaze in awe at Denali itself, the highest point in North America.
Day 4-7. Traveling south, we will hike and explore the glaciers of Kenai Fjords National Park as we hike the Harding Ice Field to 3000ft. From the port of Seward we visit the Sea Life Center and then cruise Prince William Sound, the most diverse ecosystem found in the Eastern Pacific. The Sound features pristine wilderness, ice-capped mountain scenery, mammoth glaciers, and towering rain forests. Cruise through fjords, bays and secluded passageways, searching out whales, seals, otters, sea lions, eagles, puffin, and countless shore birds. While in Seward we will climb Mt. Marathon affording us spectacular views of the surrounding glaciers.
Day 8-10. At our Wilderness lodge located in Alaska's spectacular Talkeetna Mountains experience hundreds of square miles of impossible beauty and bounty; a seemingly endless expanse of rolling forests, mountain meadows, hidden lakes, whispering streams and turquoise glaciers. We explore nearby glaciers and mountain passageways as we pan for gold in hidden streams, hike, kayak and mountain bike watching for bears, moose, and many other species of wildlife, naturalists lecture to us on the area's natural history highlights.

Accommodations & Meals: Lodging will be at comfortable rustic hotels, inns, and lodges. A kosher kitchen is set up at each of our lodgings to supply the group with freshly cooked Glatt kosher meals.

Comments: While at a number of different locations, participants will have a choice of different activities or may choose to explore on their own.
