The Expeditionary Western, or Alaskan, is an intense 45-day backpacking trip in the Brooks Range of Alaska. The Alaskan involves crossing over large passes, scrambling across scree fields, crossing large rivers and walking through vast valleys. Trip groups may see glaciers, grizzly bears, dahl sheep, caribou and many mosquitos. This expedition starts at Manito-wish where groups will work on building their team, review skills such as river crossings, and pack food and gear. The group will then fly to Fairbanks, AK. From Fairbanks they enter the Brooks Range by plane or road. After the adventure the group will travel back to Manito-wish in order to close out their experience.
