Date:
August 22-31, 2009

Cost: $4,657 per person from Fairbanks, AK

Overview:
Set your course in Fairbanks with a climate change discussion and tour of the University of Alaska's International Arctic Research Center. View the elusive muskox at the Robert G. White Large Animal Research Station, then fly to Barrow, the northernmost city in the U.S.; set foot on the Arctic Ocean shoreline, learn about permafrost and tundra; bird-watch among the 230 species of summering birds. Enjoy native dances at the Iñupiat Heritage Center and Museum; take the Alaska Railroad to Denali National Park and Preserve — choose wildflower hiking or mountain biking, natural history or gold panning. Look for moose, grizzly bears and birds near majestic Mount McKinley, North America's highest peak. Head south for a rainforest walk in Girdwood as you make your way toward Alaska's playground, the Kenai Peninsula. Watch puffins at the Alaska SeaLife Center; view glaciers at Kenai Fjords National Park aboard a catamaran — look for whales, sea otters and other marine wildlife. Explore the fjords your way — hiking, kayaking, sailing or beachcombing. All week, you'll meet Conservancy staff and learn about our 20 years of work in Alaska. We'll trust nature to arrange a glimpse of aurora borealis along the way.
