The Glacier
Discovery Tour
This one is quickly
becoming our most popular trip. Join us on the Alaska
Railroad for a beautiful ride to  Spencer
Glacier, lunch and a spectacular float through the glacial ice and down
the Placer River. This trip will give you the Alaskan experience
that you always pictured in your head. |
Your trip will start
on the train which can be boarded in Anchorage, Girdwood, or at the Portage
Station. For those who depart by rail from Anchorage the train will
travel south along Turnagain Arm for 50 miles. Guests get off the
train in the ultra-scenic Placer valley at Spencer Lake. After a
brief motor transport to Spencer Lake you will have a deli-style lunch
are launched in the raft. Spencer Lake is full of icebergs that crumble
in to the Lake throughout the season. The ice is so close you can
touch it (however for safety reason it may not always be advisable to do
so). After navigating through the ice-choked Lake the
rafts make their way down the Placer River through spirited Class I (maybe
II) rapids that are fun but mild, you shouldn’t get wet except for an occasional
small splash. After this amazingly scenic float, you'll get
back on the train and return to your point of origin. This trip is
really a lot of fun for the whole family!
