Alaska Outback Adventure 
This Alaska adventure will show you a different way of
Alaska.
By kayak in Katchemak Bay, by horse in the wilderness where no car can drive.
Stay overnight in comfortable tents to really experience the wilderness. Meals
on the trail – just like in the Western movies. Steak, beans, corn, baked
potatoes and all this around the fire.
By floatplane to the Talkeetna mountain to a lodge. Daily hikes from the lodge
with guide. After a great work out and adventure you come back to a great meal,
hot shower and your own cabin. But – if you need time out and be on your own for
a while. No problem here.
With a book, tea and coffee you can enjoy the surroundings on the deck and even
watch the wildlife.
The “Big One” –Denali can be seen from the lodge in full. Spectacular.
