Day 1 - Arrive Wrangell, likely arrive afternoon.
Day 2 - Stikine River excursion - The Stikine River is one of the last great pristine wilderness areas remaining…. Rugged and spectacular… beauty and everywhere you look. The Stikine River referred to as the “Great River” by the natives of the region is the fastest free-flowing navigable river in North America and is surrounded by vast untouched wilderness.

With the speed and comfort of modern jet boats a day on the river is the ultimate in “soft adventure” excursions.

Day 4- Another fishing day
Day 5 - LeConte Glacier excursion with a stopover in neighboring Petersburg for a little cultural excursion - LeConte Glacier is 38 miles from Wrangell by boat. The Glacier itself is 35 km long and is Northern hemisphere’s southern most calving glacier, located in a stunningly beautiful fjord. The glacier is extremely active and has regular calving events and is famous for its “shooters” (massive submarine icebergs dramatically rising to the surface). The fjord where the glacier terminates is surrounded by steep snow capped mountains adorned with waterfalls. LeConte Glaciers’ calving events produce a phenomenal collection of bergs making a great place for you to experience the best of what Alaska has to offer.

Day 7 - if it's still good bear viewing, maybe visit the Anan Bear and Wildlife Observatory or if not, another day of fishing!
