Rafting in Alaska - The Tatshenshini River

Highlights

Raft and hike through Alaska's most rugged and pristine wilderness.

View wildflower carpeted fields alive with grizzlies, moose, bighorn sheep and bald eagles. You'll also walk on a glacier and raft among icebergs. Class II-III river rapids.

Deep in the Alaskan wilderness, the Tatshenshini River lays at the heart of the Tatshenshini-Alsek Wilderness Park, encompassing over 27 million acres and five U.S. and Canadian parks and preserves. Bound by two towering mountain ranges - the Alsek and St. Elias - the Tatshenshini is a river forgotten by time. The rafting trip begins in a lake of ice flows, and then runs toward the ocean, merging with the Alsek River. This one-of-a-kind adventure then leads onto a glacier of moraines and frozen falls and finally into the shadows of ship-sized icebergs and the terminus of Alsek Bay.
