Rafters
take time to assemble their rafts before a long trip through the Tana River's
class IV to Class V whitewater.
*Tana:
The Tana is a unique area, accented
by sand dunes, numerous unnamed peaks and the braids of the Tana River. The
Tana offers challenging day-hikingand backpacking through the
surrounding area or the opportunity to set off down the Tana River in a
raft. The trip down-river will go through the difficult Tana Canyon rapids
to the Tana’s confluence with the Chitina River near Jake’s Bar
(equipped with public-use cabins). A hiker’s trip starting at the Tana
airstrip may continue in any direction. Check your map or ask us for more
details on longer hikes in the area with strenuous and challenging
terrain (from glacial travel to difficult river crossings) and rewarding views
of the scattered towering peaks surrounding the Bagley Icefield and the
jumbled ice of numerous glaciated areas. Or, choose to spend a day or
overnight trip taking it easy at the easily accessible and unique Tana Sand
Dunes.
