Hello! This is Ilene. I’m so excited to be back in Valdez, Alaska, after an adventurous winter of ski touring and hotspringing in Idaho and Colorado, and scuba diving and sea kayak guiding in warmer climes. Now I’m back amongst the iceburgs, Sea Otters, Arctic Terns, and glaciers of my favorite place in the world. . Prince William Sound, Alaska! I (and my fellow kayak guides) will be posting photos and updating this blog frequently, so check us out throughout the summer to follow our adventures, and post some comments! We love to hear from you!

While the new kayak guides were on their training trip, I held down the fort (somebody had to work around here!) and had a full week of Columbia Glacier day trips. Here are a few photos from the week. Enjoy them, and we hope to see you soon!

Hey guys!  The countdown has begun, only 5 days until we head out on an epic trip from Columbia Glacier to Valdez. This is one of my favorite multi-day routes, with 2 glaciers and miles of beautiful coastline.  We have ONE SPOT AVAILABLE! The trip is fully guided, 5 days and 4 nights, and leaves this FRIDAY, JUNE 14th, 2013

If you join us, I’ll even do all the cooking.  The menu is top secret at this point, but will include some of my favorite local fusion dishes like this Copper River Red Salmon taco salad.  YUM. 

The trip is $1225 for 5 days of paddling, 5 days of great camp cuisine, and all the gear you need to pull it off.

 

If you would like to come along, please give Anadyr Adventures a call, and tell them you want to join us on the Columbia to Valdez 5-day trip :    1 800 TO KAYAK

Cheers,
