Breathtaking Alaska panorama.There are lots of things to do here besides fishing. Guests may opt to take a day-long hike over the hills and along the streams — along the way viewing and photographing a variety of wildlife, colorful wildflowers and beautiful scenery. You may stop a while and picnic by a waterfall or bathe in a thermal spring — nature’s hot tub.
The camp is situated just about a mile from the beach, and it’s entertaining to walk along and see lava flows, mussel-encrusted rocks, tidal pools filled with unusual critters like sea urchins, limpids and starfish, and there are surprising numbers of interesting articles washed up on the beach. Whale vertebrae, walrus tusks, Japanese glass fishing buoys, plant fossils and other treasures have been found over the years. And the beach is a good place to catch a glimpse of seals, river otters, minks, and foxes.
Day-long hiking trips available.The helicopter fly-outs are the high point of many guest’s visit. You think you are enjoying the scenery while out fishing and hiking, but when you get up in the Bell Jet Ranger the surroundings become truly breathtaking. One trip you might get a close-up look at a glacier, the next you might overfly a herd of caribou or a mama brown bear with her cubs.
Hiking, photography, thermal tubbing, flying, beachcombing, riverside bonfires, star-gazing in crystal clear skies, watching feeding eagles in one of the camp’s spotting scopes — there are plenty of fun activities for nature-lovers.
