Alaska Backcountry ATV AdventureExplore > United States > Skagway > Alaska Backcountry ATV Adventure
OverviewVisit a hidden glacier! We don't recommend that you take a sedan or sprinter van and drive off into the Alaskan backcountry. There aren't any excursions currently set up that involve a search and rescue. In today's age, we fortunately live in a world where there are vehicles specifically designed for these type of adventures. It would be a shame to spend the entirety of your time in Alaska following the paved roads of local highways. Although these can provide appealing lookouts, the true Alaskan trailblazers veered off the beaten path and adventured into the alpine tundra. Hopping into an ATV,with a local as your lead, you will start a 6 mile journey through the wilderness as you soak in breathtaking views of stunning lakes, snow covered peaks and ever elusive glaciers. These are the type of panoramic vantage points that you truly have to see to believe. Alpine ridges will take you to iconic spots like Bridal Veil Falls and Lake Bennett. Locations like Paddy's Peak will provide an intimate run in with a hidden glacier. No matter where your ATV takes you, this excursion will show you Alaska the way it's meant to be seen! - Guests must be at least 6 years old and sit in their own seat (no lap children). - Each ATV can hold up to 6 passengers, including your guide, and you will be combined with other guests. Your guide will do the majority of driving, though those interested may request to take turns driving at specific portions of the tour suitable for this. Please note that on some days, guests may not be permitted to drive at all due to weather or other conditions. You must have a valid driver's license and be over 18 years old to drive the ATV. - This tour is not recommended for guests with limited mobility. - Lunch includes a turkey wrap, chips, cookies, coffee, hot chocolate or water. - Since this excursion enters Canada, all citizens MUST carry a valid passport or valid passport card. The only exception to this requirement is for U.S. citizens under the age of 16 (or under 19, if traveling with a school, religious, or other youth group) who need only present a birth certificate. If you plan to travel to Canada with a minor who is not your own child or for whom you do not have full legal custody or one parent is not present, you will be required to present a letter of consent from the minor’s parents including a signature. It should include dates of travel, parents’ names, and photocopies of their state-issued IDs. Days offered: 7 days a week Departures:
