Portage Creek |
|
|
| |
 |
|
|
|
| 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. |
