| For
unparalleled adrenaline, join Chugach
Adventure Guides for a rafting trip down
Sixmile River-a difficult, strenuous
run through deep canyons with pushy,
technical water. During high water levels,
all the rapids here are Class V. Choose
to paddle all three canyons-the third
offers some of the toughest runnable
whitewater around-or just enjoy a wild
ride down one or two. Past paddlers say
that when you get to the takeout, you'll
be wearing a "Sixmile
Smile." |

| Want
to enjoy a float trip during your Alaska
vacation, but feel limited by time
and money? Check out Chugach Adventure
Guides' Portage Creek Float, an affordable,
two-hour trip down flat water that's
just a short drive from Anchorage.
Although there's not a lot of traffic
on the road that runs along the Portage
Valley, the road does stay in sight
almost the entire time-this trip doesn't
offer the same wilderness feel that
pricier floats do. Still, you will
enjoy some beautiful Alaska scenery,
floating past four named glaciers and
down the valley until you hit the ocean-Turnagain
Arm. |

| No
roads lead to Spencer Glacier. Fortunately,
the Alaska Railroad does. Combine a scenic
rail trip with a gentle float tour led
by Chugach Adventure Guides. They'll
guide you through the iceberg-choked
Spencer Lake and down the Placer River,
which shoots out from under the glacier. |
