Located just a short drive from Anchorage, Alaska, Moose Pass Adventures offers an unforgettable private outdoor experience centered around Grant Lake, a pristine mountain lake steeped in both natural beauty and historic significance. This unique tour blends kayaking, hiking, and glamping, providing an authentic backcountry adventure that echoes Alaska’s gold mining and wilderness heritage. Grant Lake is a seldom-visited gem surrounded by rugged peaks, crystal-clear waters, and tranquil forests, making it a rare escape from city life and tourist crowds.

The trip typically begins with a paddle across Grant Lake, allowing guests to take in glacier-fed waterfalls, ancient mining cabins, and serene wildlife. Guides Jen and Ruby bring local history to life, sharing stories of early gold miners and native lore while pointing out distinct flora and fauna along the way. After kayaking, guests embark on a scenic hike through the wilderness to a second lake, where additional kayaks await for exploration. The sound of loons and the fresh glacial water create a pristine setting few visitors get to experience.

For those staying overnight, Moose Pass Adventures offers glamping in spacious yurts positioned near the lake shore. This two-night stay combines comfort with rugged outdoor living—guests enjoy filtered lake water, campfire dinners, and star-filled skies while immersed in nature. Wild berry picking along the trails adds a special seasonal touch.
