This tour travels in a comfortable, customized tour van along the Cook Inlet Coast. The first stop is Beluga Point, where you'll photograph scenic views of Turnagain Arm, a constantly changing ancient glacial fjord.
Next up is McHugh Creek, where you’ll take a short .5 mile (.8 km) hike to photograph this picturesque river cascading down a craggy mountainside or as winter progresses, intricately shaped rivulets of ice. Afterwards, visit Glen Alps, located high in the Chugach Mountains where you'll photograph panoramic views overlooking Anchorage and Cook Inlet at sunset and possibly even moose. Finally, the tour travels to Point Woronzof to capture Anchorage’s city skyline during the magical ‘blue hour’ of twilight.
Post tour, there is complimentary northern lights wake up call and transport to an optimal location to view and photograph the northern lights, should they become active.
A local guide provides narrative on points of natural and historical significance along the way, as well as technical and creative photographic support. Snacks and water are offered on board the van. State Park restrooms are available at several stops en route.
Please note: this itinerary is flexible and may change based on weather, wildlife and seasonal conditions. The tour is designed to capitalize on the best light and subjects of the evening, which in Alaska are constantly changing!
