This trip with Wild Latitudes has become a GGBA favorite. The itinerary is perfect for first-time visitors to Alaska, but also for returning nature lovers who want to learn more about this fascinating place. Our focus will be birding as well as wildlife watching (Moose, Grizzly Bears, Dall Sheep, Caribou, and Sea Otters) with some geology and ecology in the mix. Special birds we’ll be looking for include Horned Puffin, Willow Ptarmigan, Long-tailed Jaeger, Gray-cheeked Thrush, Bluethroat, and Arctic Warbler. We’ll explore several major

ecosystems across Alaska, including rugged coastlines, boreal forests, and subarctic tundra. The tour begins in Fairbanks, then we head to Denali National Park. Next, we visit the Kenai Peninsula, where we’ll take a day-long boat ride into beautiful Kenai Fjords National Park. The final few days are an exciting exploration of Nome in the far west. We’ll venture out on backroads to experience the subarctic tundra ecosystem. This tour will be an exciting, educational adventure all around!
