 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. INCLUDES: Round
trip transfer to Mendenhall Lake, narration on glacial
features and local history, snack, a souvenir “I
Shot The Mendenhall” pin, raingear, life jackets,
and rubber boots. Souvenir T-shirts and photos are available
for purchase.
