Note: This information is also available as part of the PDF file following the Detailed Itinerary Accessibility/Fitness Accommodations/Dining Our lodging ranges from log cabins to lodges to bed & breakfasts, with private bath facilities unavailable at several of the locations. All are very comfortable and are chosen for their uniqueness and charm. Dining is in local restaurants or lodges. Most feature a variety of standard dishes though in some we will be dining from a fixed menu with a choice of one or two main entrees. Special dietary needs cannot always be met as some locations are quite remote and goods purchased weeks in advance. Let us know well in advance if you have any strict or medical dietary needs and we'll gladly discuss the options. A vegetarian diet is usually not a problem. All meals from lunch on Day 1 through lunch on Day 9 are included. Alcoholic beverages are not included. Luggage/Clothing No specialized equipment is needed beyond your personal clothing (see separate Trip Packing List). Clothing should be comfortable, limited to three or four changes for the trip (laundry facilities available on Day 7), and when layered be warm to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Dress at our destinations and in the North in general, varies from the very casual to the extremely so. Footwear must of course be comfortable and designed for walking. Rain gear is essential. All clothing and personal items are limited in volume to no more than a manageable medium-sized soft-sided suitcase or duffle bag. Our vans have very limited luggage space, so please pack prudently. Extra items/luggage can usually be left in Anchorage during the trip. A small daypack for cameras, water bottle and miscellaneous items is great for in the van as well as for walks/hikes. The day pack (or a small overnight bag) is necessary also for Day 4, as we will be walking a half mile from the van, across the footbridges to McCarthy. Pre/Post-Trip Lodging/Trip Addons Many types of lodging are available in Anchorage as are independent extensions before or after your trip with us. Facilities fill up very early during the summer season. Please advise us of your interests well in advance so that we are able to guarantee suitable accommodations. If you need suggestions for other things to do, just let us know. Miscellaneous Purchases can be made with cash, traveler's checks and often (but not always) credit cards. TRAVELERS INSURANCE is strongly recommended, as the season is very short and our cancellation policy is necessarily quite strict. EMERGENCIES: A list of lodging/contacts is sent upon confirmation, though the best way to be reached is through the Adventure Alaska office in Hope. Smoking is not permitted in the vans and nearly all lodging facilities and all restaurants in Alaska are non-smoking. Cell . GRATUITIES to your guide(s) are not included. Suggested Reading Each client's appreciation will be immeasurably heightened by gaining some background beforehand of Alaska and the areas of our travels.
