Experience The Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center

After pick-up passengers will ride along the majestic Seward Highway and Turnagain Arm to Potters Marsh and view Canada geese, northern pintails, canvasback ducks, red-necked phalaropes, horned and red-necked grebes, and northern harriers use this wetland. Look for eagle nests in the cottonwoods near the base of the bluff using binoculars or a spotting scope. Eagles have a sharp sense of sight and can see at least four times better than people, enabling them to detect movements of small animals like hares from a mile away. When eagles soar overhead, they are scanning open areas for prey. 

Afterwards we will travel through the Chugach National Forest to Beluga Point. This rocky promontory was once a site used by Native hunters. Take a stroll along the short pathways along this stony crag and listen to the wind and waves - it's not hard to imagine skin-clad hunters with bone-tipped harpoons using this point to scan for whales.

The next stop will be the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center to see native wildlife up close. The sanctuary maintains over 200 acres of spacious habitats for resident animals to feel at home displaying their natural wild behavior as education ambassadors for their species. It is common for visitors to see brown bears swimming, moose strutting, wood bison roaming, muskox playing, wolves posing, and more!
