EQUIPMENT LIST

Glacier Hiking, Scenic Rafting, and Fascinating History

This package combines our most popular activities into two full days of adventure! If you sign up for a Half-Day Root Glacier Hike and Nizina Canyon Raft and Flightsee Day Trip, we’ll give you the Kennecott Mill Tour for free!

This option is perfect for folks who are planning on spending multiple days in McCarthy-Kennecott, and are interested in hiking, rafting, and history. You will hike on the Root Glacier, full of interesting features including crevasses, canyons, blue pools, rivers, and waterfalls. Click here for more details on this hike.

The Kennecott Mine Tour will take you through the buildings of Kennecott – a historic copper mining town from the early 20th century. Although the mines are no longer in operation, this ghost town was incredibly preserved. This tour will bring to light the fascinating details of the mining process, as well as life in this rustic Alaskan bush town. For more details on this tour, please click here.

Lastly, this package includes a rafting trip down the splashy Kennecott River. Enjoy an Alaskan-style deli lunch on the river bar, and keep your eyes peeled for animals and their tracks. After lunch, your guide will expertly maneuver your raft through the twisty narrows of Nizina Canyon, before pulling up on shore and awaiting your pick-up. Keep your cameras out for the ride home, as you enjoy a breath-taking bush plane flight home over the rivers and glaciers of the Kennicott Valley. Click here for more details on this trip.

All these activities can be done in whichever order works for your schedule as long as they adhere to our usual departure times – contact us for advice on the best way to plan your visit!

Root Glacier Hike

It was all I expected and more. … Andy and Gaia were both super friendly and informative, and if all of the staff is just as awesome I would expect all of your trips to be just as great. You will see me again in the future!
