Pinochle Trail - Medium to Difficult
If you want to pan for gold or see old prospecting claims and mines from the turn of the century, this tour between Chickaloon and Eureka is for you.
We have an elderly prospector still working a claim on this trail who will let you pan for gold and keep what you find.
Chances of seeing the Nelchina caribou herd on this tour are high.
Clients meet at the storefront location 435 S. Knik in Wasilla unless arrangements have been made in advance. Helmets and goggles are provided for free and all clients receive classes on safe machine operation, riding tips and emergency instructions. We do not sell insurance but advise customers of options available to them. Since our tours have the possibility of inherent danger, all tour package participants are required to sign a Release of Liability and Indemnity form prior to the excursion. Due to all the snow this year, mud conditions will be EXTREME! All guides hold CPR and First Aid credentials. Dry suits and life jackets are provided for all Jet Ski rentals. Clients can purchase disposable rain suits on site and rubber boots are recommended. Bring warm layers, wool socks, small cameras, hats and gloves, sunglasses, lip balm, sun-screen, a sandwich, two bottles of water and a candy bar. Catered lunch and dinner are available for an additional fee. Lunch is provided with the Jet Ski to Bear Glacier tour package. Overnight camp includes above package, camping set up and meals. Please call for pricing and availability. Camping must be booked two weeks in advance. There is a $75 cancellation fee per person but that can vary depending on dates.
Easy - All 4-Wheelers have power steering. Tourists over 80 years old have taken the easy tours.
Medium - Ride on a regular truck route at a maximum of 25 mph, with lots of stopping for sightseeing, wildlife viewing, bird watching and berry picking. On a scale of 1-10, this tour would be between 3-5 for physical ability and you won’t feel sore at the end of the day!
Extreme - These tours are not so much physically demanding, but the chance of danger is much greater. You may spend the night on a beach, making shelter and using your survival skills. If fog sets in you will have to wait for it to clear. You will probably encounter extreme weather conditions and also see more large wildlife up close and personal. In the case of Jet Ski failure, you could be in the ocean or glacier waters for a while. These tours are well off the beaten path where you will experience untouched, remote Alaska.
