Trip Overview

After backpacking, spend a day floating the glacial waters of the Matanuska River. Continue to hone your outdoor living skills as you embark into the backcountry again to sea kayak the Prince William Sound. Spend 4 days paddling through pristine waters among stunning glaciers and wildlife.
