Come hang with me, the Alaska Mountain Gypsy, for an amazing journey in Alaska. I will guide you 1/2 up beautiful Pioneer Peak where we will set up camp and hang out until the evening. At that time I will take you to the very top where we will stand when the clock hits midnight and the sun is still up. We will then return to camp and crawl in our tents for the night. The following morning we will return to the bottom where we will be taken to Outbound Heli Tours for an epic day of ice climbing and paddle boarding on Knik Glacier. Bring your warm clothes as we will be camping on the glacier!!! Then it’s off to the Alaska Railroad Station where we will board the train for one of the most scenic train rides you will ever experience! Shear Water Cove will meet us at the Seward Harbor for our water taxi to their stunning lodge where we will relax and kayak in Resurrection Bay. The following day will be back to Seward to have free time to explore the town. A short hike to yet another glacier before heading back to Anchorage.
