Transportation to Remote Alaska Locations, Expedition Logistics
Most of Alaska is very remote wilderness with no roads or highways and the only means of transportation is by boat or by a small Alaska bush plane. Even then most areas are so remote and rugged that a small bush plane often cannot safely land on a nearby lake or river gravel bar. To access these rugged remote areas the means of transportation is by foot, backpacking, rafting down a river, or by kayak. In winter snowmobile (snow machine), skis, snowshoes and dog sleds are used. Access or transportation planning can be a logistical nightmare for those that are not familiar with Alaska's remote areas.
Backcountry Safaris' owner has a lifetime of experience in solving Alaska's transportation logistics. We invite you to call or email if you need help with transportation to a remote Alaska location or for a guided remote Alaska trip or help with expedition logistics planning.
