Alsek River Trip Notification                                                                                   Alaska/Yukon   Class IV

Glaciers, Grizzly Bears, Mountains and Icebergs amidst a profusion of wild flowers.
This 16 day trip with a put in on 1 Sept. will have multiple layover days for mountain-based exploration with an emphasis on mountaineering. Research this trip thoroughly prior to committing. This is a Serious trip, 2 notches above a Grand Canyon Trip.
    Estimated cost $3-4K based on your personal arrival in Whitehorse Yukon. $300 nonrefundable deposit will be deposited into the trip escrow account. Passport and Drysuit required. Team members need to be 100% committed to hard work. This is an expedition not a vacation. In case of road closure, glacial surge, landslide etc. the Tatshenshini River is the backup river.
    Participants need to provide a written river résumé with specialized skills listing, climbing experience and watercraft specifics. This is a once-in-a-lifetime sensory overload experience on the most spectacular river trip in North America. All equipment needs to be in Salt Lake City Utah on 15 August 2015 to be broken down and packaged for long haul truck transport to Canada.
    Three weeks of your schedule needs to be reserved for this unique endeavor. Contact Don via email at don_urrizaga@yahoo.com.

I am signed up for this trip. Where else can you have moving icebergs in the river with you as a hazard?
This is the trip of a lifetime and you only live once.
