The Stikine
River flows over 400 miles from the snow capped
mountains of British Columbia to the Pacific Ocean and has over 20
glaciers feeding it. The region is rich in Native
Alaskan, Russian,
and gold rush history. The trip up river takes you
through pristine wilderness and into a region of
wildflowers, forests and alpine country, through
Shakes Lake. The region offers good opportunities
for wildlife viewing, including bears, moose and
eagles. Each jet boat has comfortable seating, and
all passengers are outfitted in warm, weatherproof
clothing. Average capacity per boat is 6 people.
