Day One:
Arrive in Anchorage, you and your gear are taken by bush plane to our Beautiful Lodge on Alexander Creek. (Twenty minutes flight from Anchorage.) You will feast on many culinary delights native to the Great Land during your stay with us, including: Fresh barbequed salmon, smoked salmon, freshly dug clams for chowder or frying, moose, caribou, bear, deer, and elk "steaks and roasts", wild fireweed honey, fresh baked bread, jams and jellies from local berries, etc. You and your party will be based out of this lodge for your weeks stay with us, living in our custom scribe fitted, Alaskan log buildings complete with historic cache, expansive lawn and grounds, and docks with access to Alexander Creek and the vast Susitna / Yentna / Skwentna River drainages. You will relax in the shadows of the beautiful and historic local native landmark, Mt. Susitna, ìThe Sleeping Lady of ancient Daina Native Legend.

Day Two:
Join us in one of our custom inboard jet boats for a scenic ride up the Susitna, Yentna, Skwentna, Kichatna, and Kahiltna Rivers. This extensive river network afforded a transportation system to old time prospectors, trappers, traders, hunters, fishermen, and natives extending thousands of miles along the south and east sides of the awesome ìDenali,î ìThe Great Oneî. The scenery is spectacular and the views of the tallest mountain in North America are stupendous. There will be numerous opportunities to photograph and view various species of wildlife from the safety and comfort of the boat, including moose, bear, otter, beaver, muscrat, wolf, coyote, bald and golden eagles, hawks and falcons. We will have numerous opportunities to fish for whatever species of Salmon is running at that particular time of the season, as well as trophy Rainbow Trout, Dolly Varden, Northern Pike, and Arctic Grayling. Fly fishing is our specialty, and, although we encourage catch and release practices, in the case of some salmon species we will be able to barbeque your fish streamside or at the Lodge that very evening for a fresh culinary treat rarely available outside Alaska.

Day Three:
We will be picked up by bush airplane and flown north to Denali Park for an hour of ìup close and personalî flightseeing of the ìGreat Oneî itself. You will see the routes used by world class mountaineers as they attempt to accomplish the challenging feat of climbing the tallest mountain in North America. Then we will be dropped off on a rough landing strip in the historic ìPeters Hillsî mining district for a first hand chance to pan for gold as the old time sourdoughs did themselves. Bring home a personally retrieved momento of Alaskan Placer Gold for that ìsome one specialî. Finish off the day with a leisurely canoe paddle down the headwaters of Kroto Creek and Deshka Rivers into the sunset. These streams are world renowned for their salmon and trout fisheries, and little known for their scenic vistas, wildlife viewing, and hiking opportunities. The wildlife and photo opportunities will, of course, be abundant. Spend the night in one of our temporary, but comfortable streamside camps and feast on the ìCatch of the Dayî!

Day 4-6:
Continue the float down to the mouth of the Deshka River, hiking, photographing, and fishing as we go. There we will be picked up by the jet boat and ferried back to the Lodge to freshen up and relax before your return to Anchorage via bush plane again on the morning of your seventh day.
