Iditarod National Historic Trail - We love sharing our knowledge about Alaska. From it’s amazing human history to it’s rugged geologic past. Trail Lake is located on the Historic Iditarod Trail and we’ll even travel under the Alaskan Railroad.
Moose Pass and Trail Lake are located right next to the Iditarod National historic Trail. As a matter of fact, when we can, we love to participate on the trail crew to help restore the original trail for hikers and historians to enjoy. It’s a dream of ours to one day see this entire trail hikeable from Seward North, just like when it all started! We’ve got lots of stories to share about this amazing, important part of Alaskan history. - Moose Pass - This little town has quite the storied past. With one of the oldest schools and longest running libraries on the Kenai Peninsula, a grocery store that was moved across town on logs and a lodge and restaurant that started out as the remote Jockey Club, but once had black lights and a disco ball inside. Well, let’s just say, there’s plenty of things, people and places to talk about. We can’t wait.
- Trail Lake - After our general orientation and kayak instruction, we’ll spend some time kayaking across glacially fed Trail Lake. Trail Lake has Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout and other fish in it’s waters and empties into Kenai Lake, which allows for salmon to find their way up through as well! There are often bears or moose along the shores and plenty of Bald Eagles in the area as well.
- Chugach National Forest - The Chugach National Forest is a 6,908,540-acre (27,958 km2)[2] United States National Forest in south central Alaska. The Chugach includes extensive shorelines, glaciers, forests and rivers, much of which is untouched by roads or trails. It hosts numerous bird, mammal and marine species, including extensive shorebird habitat and a bald eagle population larger than the contiguous 48 states combined.
