Participants can enjoy the thrill of experiencing
the backcountry with all the comforts a raft trip provides, she says.
Professional guides, gourmet meals and expansive scenery make this
adventure the perfect choice for travelers looking to skip the crowds in
Alaska this summer. No experience is necessary.
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park is the largest
national park in the U.S. The high country of the park contains
spectacular mountain ranges, 9 of the 16 highest peaks in the country,
glaciers, active volcanoes, and wildlife. Scenic flights, glacier
walking, sea kayaking and visits to isolated outposts highlight this
adventure, according to Debbie..
Women looking for an adventure, along with a
supportive group atmosphere, will appreciate adventures designed by
women over 40, for women over 40, she says.
