 |
| The Trip offers an economical and unbelievably rewarding adventure through spectacular wilderness. These three and four-day trips float through the heart of Wrangell St. Elias National Park, starting from McCarthy and ending in Chitina. Drift down the river with the towering Chugach, Wrangell, and St. Elias mountain ranges in the background, sparkling side rivers, rare and fascinating geology, good wildlife viewing opportunities, idyllic riverside camp sites and classic natural history fill your senses.

Itinerary |
| 01 |
| This morning, after getting geared up we pack the waterproof bags and rig the rafts. All of the camp gear will be carried with us on the rafts, including lots of great food! After a thorough instructional and safety presentation we head down the Kennicott River, a fast and bouncy class III glacial river. As evening approaches we set up camp along the Kennicott or Nizina river on a riverside beach or meadow land. A delicious dinner will be prepared by the guides. |

| 02 |
| (and 3. Day if you booked the 4-Day Trip): These days follow similar routines but provide different experiences. After a tasty breakfast and fresh coffee we float down the Nizina and then Chitina rivers, as they wander towards the sea. The whitewater of these days is relatively mild. The grandeur and feeling of being in the middle of nowhere is unsurpassed. We stop for lunch mid-day, and lay out the expansive deli-style meal on the banks of the river. During the day we take time to hike some of the dramatic canyon lands along the river. In the late afternoon we set up camp. Note: the 4-day trip allows more time to explore the side rivers and mountains along the way. |
|
| Last Day |
| After breakfast we float the last few miles of the Chitina river as it heads to its confluence with the Copper river. In the early afternoon we reach the confluence and town of Chitina, where the river trip ends. After a post-trip toast and salute to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park you will be shuttled back to your car or flight in Chitina. |
