Let our experienced trek leaders help you to explore Alaska’s beautiful, wild and scenic waterways in a land where the rivers change every hour. The Northern Lights High Adventure Base offers four different canoe trips so, whether your group is made up of novice canoeists or you are looking for the next adventure with class 3 rapids, we have a trip for you!



The Yukon River Trek is a class 1 river that requires basic canoeing skills. For those who are looking for more of a challenge and are eager to learn basic white water skills, the Tangle Lakes/Delta River Trek is probably for you. If you have some white water experience already and want to run at a leisurely pace on a Class 1 and Class 2 river, check out the Gulkana River Trek. Birch Creek is certainly worth taking a look at if you want a faster river with Class 1, Class 2 and even a few Class 3.



Are you looking for something that Philmont just couldn't give you? Alaska is home of some of the best backpacking in the world! With a unique landscape that can also be the harshest around, our Trek Leaders will help you explore this exotic land and have an adventure that will compare to none other.



We offer three backpacking treks that vary in level of difficulty. For the most aggressive and ambitious of hikers, we suggest the Gates of the Arctic trip. For groups that want a more leisurely or less stringent trip, our Alaska Range and Wrangle St. Elias trips might be more your speed. If you need help deciding, call the High Adventure Director for more information.



If you have younger scouts in your Troop but still want to experience Alaska, come with us on a road trip and see more of our state than most locals! Our van trips offer more of a "car camping" feel but you will still have the opportunity to get outside and see what our state is all about.
