What to Expect

Start your day with pickup in Anchorage.

Head towards the Portage Valley as your guide shares informative commentary on the wildlife and history of Turnagain Arm and Chugach National Forest. Stop to look for wildlife such as Eagles and Moose, and snap photos at the Anchorage Coastal Wildlife Refuge, Beluga Point and Bird Point. All stops provide great views of the narrow Turnagain Arm waterway, which connects to the Gulf of Alaska and the Cook Inlet.

At the entrance to Portage Valley, visit the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, a wildlife reserve that rehabilitates orphaned and injured wild animals from the Chugach National Forest region, including caribou, elk, moose, musk ox, deer, bears and bison — some of Alaska's biggest land animals. See the animals and birds of prey during your time at the center.

Lunch is available for purchase at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. Lunch is not included.

Later, ascend the road that climbs into the Chugach Mountains where you get for sweeping views of the Turnagain Arm.
