Walrus Viewing
The only thing more extraordinary than watching 1,000-pound grizzly bears feast on salmon is spotting a walrus hauled out on a remote beach in western Alaska. These rare, constantly moving, and endangered animals make every sighting a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Trips typically take 2–3 days, may involve tent camping, and sightings are never guaranteed—by land or air. Reaching their remote haulouts usually requires 8–10 hours in a bush plane, making the journey as adventurous as the destination.
Fishing
Alaska offers unforgettable fishing experiences for every angler. Reel in halibut and cod on the open sea, troll for salmon along scenic waterways, cast from rivers and beaches, or try ice fishing for trout in the winter. Whether you’re seeking a trophy catch or a freezer full of fresh fish, the species you want will help determine the best time and location for your adventure, connecting you with the right charter and ensuring your Alaskan fishing trip is tailored to you
Hunting
Moose, bear, caribou, sheep, ducks—you name it, Alaska has it, and some of the finest hunting opportunities in the world! Most hunts take place from August through December, giving you a variety of options depending on your preferred game and style of hunt. Contact us, and we’ll help you craft a customized hunting itinerary designed to maximize your experience in Alaska’s incredible wilderness.
ON THE PROPERTY
Ski and Hiking Trails
Some of the activities available right on the property at the Lodge include cross-country skiing and hiking trails. Along these trails keep your eye out for wild blue berries, cranberries, and raspberries in the late summer and fall. In the winter and early spring, look for "moose sheds" where moose have shed their massive antlers and they may be laying just off the side of the trail.
Frisbee Golf (Disc Golf)
While recovering from long hikes and epic days of sightseeing and fishing, take a stroll around the Lodge and play a round of Disc Golf! Maybe even enjoy a smooth Alaskan Amber or Alaska Brewing IPA while you're at it!
Local Wildlife
Right here on the Lodge property we have three resident moose (a Cow and two calves), as well as many transient moose that like to stroll down the runway when they get tired of walking through the trees. Keep an eye out for them in the early morning and evenings. You'll also see foxes, many types of birds, and maybe even a wolf!
Winter Activities
Dog Sledding
There are several options for this just a short drive from the Lodge. Tours range from just 45mins to several hours depending on what you are looking for.
Cross Country Skiing
We have about 2 miles of trails right here at the lodge, as well as access here in the valley to many miles of groomed trails at both Hatcher's Pass and Government Peak parks.
Ice Fishing
There are also several options for this just a short drive from the Lodge. Fishing expeditions range from just a few hours to all day depending on what your goals are.
Aurora Photography
Whether staying at the Lodge to experience the Aurora or wanting to capture that epic shot of the northern lights over Denali. Staying here at the lodge gives you quick access to great dark spots to go to for Aurora viewing and photography. If you're a beginner to photography you can even take a tour with a guide who will help you set up your camera for the perfect shot.
Snow Machine Tour
The Lodge lies in the heart of many miles of amazing snow machine trails, both groomed and backcountry. Options include renting machines and having them delivered to the lodge or taking a short drive to Hatcher's Pass to do a guided snow machine tour.
Ice Skating
The same beautiful glacier lakes we kayak and paddle on in the summer are wonderful for ice skating and even ice climbing on the icebergs in the winter. Just a short flight from the Lodge, the experience of ice skating right up to a glacier is like none other.
