Day 6 - Alyeska Aerial Tramway and Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
Turnagain Arm serves up stunning views after breakfast as we
embark on a scenic drive along the Seward Highway. Basking in
sensational scenery as the route clings to the shoreline, we gaze
in wonder across the fjord-like inlet to Mount Alpenglow and its
neighboring peaks.
In Girdwood, the enclosed aerial tramway carries us more than
2,000 feet up Mount Alyeska. With glaciers and deep snow
surrounding us, it's no wonder this is the state's premier winter
sports resort. Lunch is included, and there is also time to explore
and admire the views.
This afternoon is focused on the amazing animals of Alaska.
During a motorcoach tour of the Alaska Wildlife Conservation
Center, a guide details the inspiring work of this scenic refuge.
For 30 years, some of Alaska's most loved animals have been rescued
and cared for here, including bears, wolves, bison, lynx, elk and
many more. In suitable areas, we can also step off the bus for a
closer look.
Returning to Anchorage this evening, we gather for our final
dinner as a group.
