Day 4:   After breakfast we visit the ice age as we hike up Phelan Creek in the Alaska Range to its source at the face of Gulkana Glacier.  If conditions allow,  we continue right up onto the glacier!  In the afternoon, we bicycle from the Alaska Range into the Copper River Valley.  We eat dinner near the base of the Wrangells at the historic Gakona Lodge (Est. 1906).  Total bicycling 30miles.

Day 5: A hop in the van takes us past the Wrangell Mountains to Stuart Creek, where we mount our bikes and wind our way up the Tsaina River toward Thompson Pass. On the way, we view Worthington Glacier, only yards from the road! Thompson Pass is only 2,678 feet, but far above treeline, and the views from here are truly spectacular. Don't forget your camera! We now drop 2500 feet in six miles into the Lowe River Valley. We ride through the vertical rock walls and numerous waterfalls of Keystone Canyon. Just across the river is Bridal Veil Falls, over 700 feet high! We spend the night in Valdez across the bay from the Trans - Alaska Pipeline Terminal. Total bicycling distance 33 miles.

Day 6: Sea Kayaking! We climb aboard a water taxi for a ride through Prince William Sound to Shoup Bay, where we begin this scenic journey.    Shoup Bay offers the full spectrum of wildlife with seals, otters, bald eagles and sometimes even whales!  Over the course of the day we will paddle past floating icebergs, past a nesting colony of Black Legged Kittiwakes, and right up to the face of Shoup Glacier!  We enjoy a picnic lunch with a spectacular glacier view.   At the end of our paddling we are picked up by motor boat for the ride back to Valdez.
