Itinerary
Welcome to Anchorage, Alaska – the city of lights and flowers! A John Hall’s Alaska representative greets all guests on arrival, escorting to luxury accommodations for the evening. Colorful Anchorage has much to offer for those up for a bit of exploring. Dinner is at leisure.
Dinner
Today’s highlights are a visit to the Anchorage Museum and the Alaska Airlines flight to Cordova. Situated near the mouth of the Copper River – known for its prolific salmon runs – the only way to town is by plane or by boat. Settle into the lodge and discover one of Alaska’s best-kept secrets and gateway to Alaska’s wilderness.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
There is no better way to experience what makes Alaska special than a day of adventure. Choose one included activity: fishing – for halibut, cod, or salmon; hike to Sheridan Glacier with glacier kayaking; sightseeing along the Copper River Delta with visits to two local museums. Enjoy a cozy bonfire before retiring for the evening.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Wilderness, wildlife, and glaciers sum up the day! Board a privately chartered sightseeing vessel and cruise Prince William Sound to the glacier-lined port of Valdez, and southern terminus of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline. Amidst the mountainous backdrop of the Chugach National Forest, watch for whales, sea lions, otters, harbor seals, puffins, and eagles while cruising about the Sound’s many islands and fjords.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Board a privately chartered sightseeing vessel this morning and journey through the majestic Columbia Bay on the way to Columbia Glacier, the largest glacier in Prince William Sound. Experience spectacular calving events and close encounters with wildlife. This pristine wilderness is home to a variety of whales, along with Dall’s porpoise, seals, Stellar sea lions and more! Keep those eyes peeled and cameras handy as the captain navigates through the Sound. Lunch will be hosted on board and dinner may be enjoyed at leisure this evening in Valdez.

En route to Denali National Park today, pass through Keystone Canyon to witness an impressive display of cascading waterfalls and steep slate walls. On what National Geographic referred to as one of the top ten scenic highways in the world, travel the Denali Highway – extremely beautiful and mostly unpaved, following the Alaska mountain range and Hayes Range towards Denali National Park. Be on the lookout for caribou, bear, moose, and wolves. Enjoy an evening of comfort at the gates of Denali National Park and Preserve.
Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
Rise early with the sun in Alaska for a wonderful day starting with a sightseeing bus ride 42-miles deep into the heart of Denali National Park, lunch, and time at leisure. During the drive be on the lookout for moose, caribou, Dall sheep, wolves, grizzly bears, and of course extravagant mountains. After returning to the gates of the park, relax this evening surrounded by nature.

Enhance the time in Denali National Park this morning with a choice of one included activity – backcountry ATV excursion, zipline tour with 360 views, or whitewater rafting trip on the Nenana River. Afterward, board the glass-domed cars of the Alaska Railroad for a luxury GoldStar experience with lunch on board. Listed on the register of National Historic Places, there is time in Talkeetna to explore its early pioneer roots before settling into the Talkeetna Alaskan Lodge, situated on the south side of Denali National Park.
