BACKCOUNTRY CAMPING

Operating dates for BACKCOUNTRY Camping: June - September

Experience the Alaskan Backcountry

Experience a flightseeing tour before being dropped off at your remote camping location. Stroll along the outer banks of Lake George or head high above the glaciers for iceberg & wildlife viewing. Your guides will assemble the perfect camp for you to relax and enjoy an Alaska-grown meal.

 

Your guide will provide all the camping gear and food necessary for the trip.
