Snowmobile in the high country of Turnagain Pass to seek the legendary snow the Chugach National Forest is famous for. Meet your guide for snowmachining instruction at the trail head in Turnagain Pass or at Bertha Creek on the Kenai Peninsula for riding in mountain valleys. Snowmobile travel typically takes you on historic wagon trails, to a roadhouse, around a campground loop and to a salmon habitat restoration project in Johnson Pass.
The Iditarod National Historic Trail unfolds as snowmachiners follow gold miners trails made famous by Alaskan huskies. If conditions permit we climb to elevation at Lynx Creek for panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and creeks hydraulically gold mined by ‘giants’. Alternately we ride the meadows and trails of Turnagain Pass where the locals ride trails linking powder fields and ancient glacial moraine.
