Visit Kennecott Mine in the Copper River Valley
No matter where we take you on your Alaskan wilderness tour, you’re going to have a great time. Knowing that many of the destinations on your trip are rarely or never included in any other package tours offered elsewhere only adds to the experience.
Alaska Adventure Unlimited’s 10-Day, Full Circle of Alaska tour is just that: a vacation package that provides you with numerous unique locations and experiences. Like what, you ask? Read on!
On our Full Circle of Alaska tour, you’ll board a small plane for a flightseeing tour over Wrangell St. Elias National Park. This park is six times larger than Yellowstone with 20,000 square miles of mountain wilderness! Nine of the United States’ sixteen highest peaks are here – and you’ll be viewing them from the air!
Another unique location on this tour is the Alyeska oil pipeline and Valdez. Passing through Copper Basin, we’ll stop to view a section of the Alyeska oil pipeline and learn about the building and maintenance of this iconic structure. Then it’s on to Worthington Glacier with time to take photos, hike, or just sit and take it all in.
Traveling over Thompson Pass and into Keystone Canyon, you’ll see be treated to some of the most picturesque waterfalls in Alaska. I hope you brought your camera! The day ends with your arrival in Valdez for a night of fun and laughter.
Another unique opportunity on this trip is an option to tour the Kennicott Mine. The Kennicott Mine produced and milled 200 million dollars worth of copper and silver between 1910 and 1938. You’ll see the mine and hear the fascinating history of its operations during its heyday. You can even do some rock hounding for beautiful samples of naturally occurring azurite, copper, malachite, and quartz!
Other highlights of this truly amazing Alaska adventure tour include the native village of Eklutna, an airboat ride to the base of Knik Glacier, and Denali National Park with its abundant, photogenic wildlife. You’ll see hundreds of eagles on this tour and have the option to either flightsee Denali National Park with a landing on the Sheldon Amphitheater glacier or take a 2-hour riverboat adventure into the heart of the Denali wilderness to visit an authentic trapper’s cabin!
