Do you want to get “Into the Wild”? Do you yearn for Interior Alaska and Denali after seeing Sean Penn’s “Into the Wild”? If your answer is yes, that’s great! However, we’d like to suggest that you, as well as all Alaskans, plan and prepare for any trip to the woods. Because “wild” is in the “wilderness,” there are inherent risks to any outdoor recreation. Freedom, discovery and exploration are your goals, but how you handle unexpected situations like changing weather, getting lost and fording streams have real consequences. Heading off the road system is not for everyone. As a matter of fact, venturing into the Alaskan wilderness is only for the very prepared and savvy outdoorsperson. It means you are on your own. Your cell phone probably won’t work. Animals are unpredictable. Weather changes often and unpredictably in the north in all seasons. If you get hurt, how would you get out? You may run short on supplies if conditions dictate. There are lots of options to explore in some great locations without heading to the infamous bus location where Chris McCandless met his death. Maintained and extensive hiking trails, public use campgrounds and cabins, and national parks, recreation areas and refuges with limited though vital services can be that wilderness experience for you. Or, find an experienced tour guide that can introduce you to an Alaskan wilderness vacation without endangering your life. = Open summer only, d Open winter only, =d Open year-round.
