It feels like the end of the earth... or the beginning of it. Two legs take you to places that few humans have seen. Glaciers sheer down mountainsides to waters brimming with sea life. Poets fish - and fishers write poetry - in the coastal town of Homer. You marvel as Kachemak Bay shows you all its weather, or at the rushing waterfalls and endless wildflower fields on your hike to Crow Pass. Your sense of the wilderness will never be the same after this.

    The hike of a lifetime along Exit Glacier to staggering views of Resurrection River Valley and Harding Icefield
    Boat across Kachemak Bay, then trek to amazing Grewingk Glacier
    Coastal towns of Homer and Seward
    Watch for black bears, mountain goats and salmon swimming upstream
    The alpine splendor of Carter and Crescent Lakes
