ADVENTURE LIKE A LOCAL: Backpacking in the talkeetna mountains

If you’re looking for the ultimate Alaskan adventure, this beast is for you! Our member, Sierra P., is wildly impressive for taking this one on!

THE HIGHLIGHTS:

Location: Northern Talkeetna Mountains

Time of Year: Late August/September

Duration: 21 Days!

An expedition to enhance outdoor leadership skills for leading groups of people.

Be prepared with a map and compass. The weather changes are rapid. Lots of fog and blizzard-like conditions. The highlight of my trip was getting to backpack next to herds of caribou. So cool!
