Fly-In River Rafting


Three Rivers Fly-In River Rafting

We will rendezvous at the edge of the Kennicott River, the rock covered terminus of the Kennicott Glacier less than 500 yards distant. It is a wonderful reminder of the origins of the chocolate colored water rushing past and floating our raft. Within minutes after launching we'll careen through Class III rapids. For 45 minutes the whitewater will keep the adrenaline pumping, and then the river gives way to a gentle float. At the junction of the Kennicott and Nizina Rivers, we are carried west, traversing a wide glacial valley at the end of which we enter the deep, rock walled Nizina River Canyon. The river is now forced to twist and even fall back upon its self like a coiled snake. For an hour we will maneuver through a wonderous maze and rest stops will be made on narrow sand bars and hidden beaches.
 

We meet our bush plane on a gravel bar at the junction of the Nizina and Chitina Rivers. Two at a time you'll retrace the route you just rafted, and then fly out over the Kennicott Glacier, getting a birds-eye view of the ice world below. You'll fly over the Root Glacier, and experience from the air what you might have explored on the ground on our Glacier Hike. After a low fly-by of the historic town of Kennecott, you'll land at the McCarthy airstrip.
