Departing from your hotel, this interesting tour travels south of Anchorage along the Seward Highway, one of only 13 US highways featuring the designation of an “All-American Road.” The trip will be filled with chances to stop and savor the scenery and take photos as we drive the Turnagain Arm’s winding roadway to Girdwood and Alyeska Resort. We’ll take a tram ride to the top of Mount Alyeska for a stunning view of the glacial valley below, then continue for the short drive to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC).
The AWCC is a 200-acre facility dedicated to the preservation and protection of Alaska’s most iconic animals. See moose, bears, wolves, musk ox, and more as you walk or drive the beautiful property, any time of year.
After meeting the animals, we’ll continue to Portage for a one-hour cruise to the hidden Portage Glacier. Icebergs are a large part of the cruise, so keep an eye out for those beautiful bergy bits!
After the cruise, we’ll return to Anchorage, enjoying the scenery once again. End this wonderful day of exploration with a return to your hotel.
