Alaska

The Trip-Finder, January 1998 Alaska Sea-Kayaking College Fjord The Route: Four days of exploring a virtually unknown backwater of Prince William Sound, where you’ll paddle among sea otters, icebergs, and hanging glaciers, and set up base camp on a spectacular ledge overlooking the sea. When to go: June to August Difficulty: Moderate Travel advisory: Though deet can make you break out in a dreadful rash, it’s the only repellent capable of warding off Alaska’s bulletproof mosquitoes. A 65-percent deet spray is about right. High/low points: Watching from your kayak as a 300-foot high slab of ice slides into the fjord. Trying to eat your breakfast, lunch, and dinner through a headnet on days when the mosquitoes are particularly relentless. Copyright 1998, Outside magazine
