 This is an exciting yet gentle introduction to white water rafting, fun for beginning and experienced rafters of all ages. The adventure begins with a scenic tour to Mendenhall Lake where you’ll have an excellent view of the glacier - one and a half miles wide and one hundred and fifty feet high. Near the shoreline suit up with raingear, life jackets and rubber boots. Each raft carries eight to twelve people and is rowed by an experienced guide. Paddle rafts are available for the more adventuresome.
Floating past the Mendenhall Glacier on its iceberg studded lake, you will be treated to spectacular views of hanging glaciers, towering peaks and glacial topography. As you float down the river you will encounter stretches of moderate rapids that add excitement to the trip. An entertaining guide will explain the natural phenomena at work in this scenic valley. Once ashore you will enjoy an Alaskan-style snack.
TOUR INCLUDES: Round trip transfer from the dock or hotel to Mendenhall Lake; narration on glacial features and local history; snack and beverages consisting of reindeer sausage, cheese, crackers, salmon spread, water and hot and cold apple cider; a souvenir “I Shot The Mendenhall“ pin; raingear, life jackets, and rubber boots. Souvenir photos, T-shirts, hats, sweatshirts and jackets are available for purchase.
