All you need to do is paddle and bring a water bottle! They bring snacks, and homemade lunches that were amazing with homemade bread!! The view when you come around the corner is jaw dropping!! The staff were amazing and very personable!! We traveled by train for the second half of our journey to view multiple glaciers and animal sightings!! Moose, eagles, bear. There's an opportunity to get off the train and complete a short hike. This trip was the most expensive that we did, but we would do it again!!

Then we had a quick kayak lesson, then paddled across the water to get up close to the glacier. Once we walked up close to admire the view, we did a meaningful meditation, took some pictures, then headed down for lunch. The box lunch was plentiful and fresh. Just enough to keep us satisfied as the train went up to Grandview to see a few more glaciers and some waterfalls that you can't get to by road. All in all, Ryan and Caroline provided us with a safe and fun day that was unforgettable. Definitely the highlight of our time in Alaska.

In the past I've only hit this trail to go to peak two for skiing, but recently went to Rabbit Lake on the most perfect day possible. Got great photos of the Suicides, waded in the lake, and wallowed on the grass. One regret is that I didn't get a pano shot. I'm like queen of the panos, what the heck? There were a few people tenting it, making it a perfect amateur backpacking adventure. Will come again and may pack a picnic.

This was my 13 year old son's and my first fishing trip to Alaska, and I wanted to make sure it was…read moretruly memorable, for all the right reasons. The challenge was, having never been to Alaska, how do you sift through all the reviews, advice, and outfitters, especially knowing this might be a once in a lifetime experience? After reading the glowing reviews and speaking with Adam, I decided to go with FishHound Expeditions, and I'm so glad I did. It's rare that a trip like this not only meets expectations but far exceeds them. From the beginning, Adam was incredibly organized, offering great suggestions for lodging and following through on every detail. Our guide for the three days--two days drifting and one unforgettable day flying by helicopter to a remote river, was Orion, and he was phenomenal. Knowledgeable, kind, patient, and passionate, he connected immediately with my son and became his fly fishing coach for the trip. That allowed me to simply sit back and enjoy the moment, no nagging about knots, no worrying about technique, just the pure joy of being on the water, surrounded by the beauty of Alaska. It was everything I hoped for and more. Memories I'll cherish forever? Absolutely. Thank you, FishHound team, for making this father son trip unforgettable.

In my opinion this is the prettiest section of the trail, but it is unfortunately slated for destruction. They would have us believe this is for "improvement " but anyone whose lived in Alaska for any length of time and read the report on the plans knows this is hogwash. My point is, enjoy this trail while you can.

All dive organizations pride themselves in making sure that your local dive shop teaches verbatim what their standards are.

Alex walked me through all the certifications and all the steps to diving. He reassured me of the changes from a wet suit to a dry suit and all the add-ons that would come with that. He went through prices and told me about the discounts I could earn if I was to bundle certifications together. I am excited to set up my certifications and get some dives recorded in Alaska.

Compared to the usual hikes occasional hikers and/or tourists do (Flattop et al), this hike is…read morelonger. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. That means the grade (steepness) is much more gradual and, to many folks, it "feels" less steep. The trail starts out low and in the brush. In my opinion, this is the scariest part. Why? Well, you never have to scramble up rocks and use your hands on this trial, but that's not why. The why is simple: BEARS. I definitely recommend hiking with friends, or being loud, or taking bear spray, or all of the above. The lower parts of the trail have many blind-turns and overgrown areas where you could surprise Ballou. Soon you'll leave the brush though, and take a gentle cruise to the summit of Wolverine. The views from the top, looking east (away from Anchorage) are pretty incredible.

Hiking Wolverine Peak was my first activity in Alaska and it left me sore for the rest of the week…read more However, the climb as well as the views made it all worthwhile. The hike is well known locally and is about 10 miles round trip. It can be strenuous as Wolverine Peak is 4500 feet above sea level and most of the hike is straight uphill. The first 2 miles aren't too bad but the trail gets narrower and steeper as you go along so I was huffing and puffing halfway into it. You have to make your way carefully in certain parts where the trail gets narrow cuz there's this plant called Cow's Parsnip (I think that's what it's called) and something on the flower reacts to sunlight so if you brush up on the flower and it gets sunny, you will have very nasty blistering sores. Be careful! Throughout the hike the guide stopped periodically so that I could check out the scenery and the wildlife. There was a moose and her calf.. and we picked wild blueberries on the trail for a little snack. And the views of the peaks and valleys were so lovely. Just really hard to describe... Take lots of water and a nice lunch to enjoy at the top. A great way to spend the day.
