Alaska Escape: Haines, the Inian Islands and Tracy Arm Fjord
Indulge your inner explorer on a compact, six-day expedition along the untamed coastal landscapes of Alaska's Inside Passage. This pristine wilderness is home to a rich Tlingit culture, an enduring frontier spirit, and a panoply of wildlife—from high-flying eagles and tail-fluking whales to salmon-fishing bears. Hike through forests of towering trees, kayak in glacier-carved fjords, and raft from an ancient Alaska native village.
