Once fully prepared, we'll hop in our kayaks and paddle a scenic one-mile route to the trailhead.

Enjoy the wilderness and beauty of Alaska, explore Grant Lake by kayak, relax by the campfire, indulge in a frontier-style dinner, and fall asleep under the Midnight Sun in the comfort of your yurt.
Inclusions: Guided Trail Lake tour and hike, kayaks on Grant Lake, yurt accommodation, lunch and dinner provided
Day 2: Breakfast with a View of Grant Lake
