Alaska Backcountry Safari (3 days)
Following is a sample itinerary for our 3 day Alaska Backcountry Safari.

[General Info -- Multi-Day Excursions]

Snowmobile Trips Day One (Up to 65 miles with lunch, dinner.)

8:00am: Our driver and van will meet your group at the main entrance of your Hotel to transport you north to Willow, Alaska. The drive up to Willow is very scenic. The road winds up through the Matanuska Valley and continues up north past the town of Wasilla. Our driver will narrate and will cover points of interest along the way.

10:30am: Arrive at Willow and suit up for your first day's snowmobile ride. All extra bags of clothing and gear will be loaded onto the rear of your sled. You will depart the Willow trailhead and head down the trail which takes you along the banks of the mighty Susitna River. This huge frozen river serves as a major travel corridor for access to the remote lodges and riding areas. We'll travel along the Susitna River for about 25 miles until we meet up with the frozen confluence of the Yentna River. Our route will follow the Yentna River as it winds back further into the wilderness for another 35 miles until arriving at a warm and confortable lodge. Depending on the kind of speed the group makes, there should be some good opportunities for playing around on the snowmobiles utilizing many of the huge open meadows and frozen swamps along the way.

4:30pm: Check in to the Denali View Lodge, situated on a bluff with a grand view of Mt. McKinley. Enjoy a delicious full course dinner as you soak in the warmth and hospitality of your hosts. After dinner, relax prior to heading off to bed.

Day Two (Up to 85 miles with breakfast, lunch, dinner.)

8:00am: Enjoy a hot breakfast served while planning the days adventures.

9:00am: Begin a full day of snowmobile riding which will take you all the way up into the foothills of the majestic Mt. McKinley, the highest Mountain in North America. We'll follow the Yentna river system until we reach the Kahiltna River, and then we'll follow the Kahiltna River as it twists and turns further up to the high country. We'll make a nice lunch stop on the trail enroute to the Petersville area.

5:00pm: Check into the Kenny Creek lodge, located in the premier high country riding area of the Mt. McKinley and Petersville foothills. After a long day's ride, enjoy meeting your new hosts, then relaxing and dining in their well furnished, yet rustic accommodations.

Day Three (Up to 50 miles with breakfast, lunch.)

8:00am: The Kenny Creek lodge staff will serve up a hearty breakfast, to make sure everyone has plenty of energy for the day's ride.

9:00am: Enjoy the best of what Alaska has to offer. Your guides will lead you to areas where extensive off-trail riding is available and many areas offer deep, deep untracked snow and spectacular scenery beyond description.

2:00pm: Return to the Kenny Creek lodge for a big late afternoon lunch. You will have some time to pack your gear after lunch, then ride out the short distance to where the vans and trailers will be waiting.

4:00pm: We'll load the machines and vans, then depart for Anchorage.

7:00pm: Arrive Anchorage, we'll drop you off at your appropriate hotel or at the airport and bid a fond farewell. You will take home lasting memories of your Alaskan style snowmobile trip and the friendly hospitable folks who spend their winters in the remote backcountry.
