Alaska: Denali to Prince William Sound Family Expedition
Yellowstone and Grand Teton family Expedition
Discover stunning landscapes and diverse wildlife on a family expedition into the heart of Alaska’s untouched wilderness. Stay in cozy cabins in Denali National Park and in alpine luxury at a beautiful mountain resort. With mountain views as a backdrop, head out on naturalist-led hikes to search for moose, caribou, wolves, grizzly bears, and Dall sheep; and kids can try their hand at panning for gold. Meet Alaska’s wild residents up close at a local conservation center, and scan the horizon for whales and other marine life on a wildlife cruise through Prince William Sound.
Explore two of America’s greatest natural wonders: Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks. On a variety of excursions designed for families, discover Yellowstone’s mud pots, geysers, and colorful pools, and look for bison, bears, elk, eagles, and coyotes. Hike along the edge of the spectacular Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, and witness iconic Old Faithful’s thrilling eruption. Cross over the Continental Divide and head south to the jagged peaks of the Teton Range. Hop on a boat on Jenny Lake, and descend the thrilling rapids of the Snake River.
