By ground from Anchorage to the Boreal is 9-10 hours.Perched on a dramatic 150-foot bluff above the braided glacial Nizina River, the setting is nothing short of spectacular. The views stretch across the river valley to the Chugach Mountains and Goodlata Peak (8166 ft) creating an ever-changing panorama. Wildlife is abundant and frequently seen on the property including grizzlies, black bears, moose, coyotes, lynx and more. The three migratory thrushes; Varied, Swainson's, Hermit sing their eerie songs and breed in the northern forest. Robins are prolific as well. Boreal is an exceptional basecamp for adventure, solitude, recreation, photography and immersion in one of the most remarkable landscapes in North America.With the grass airstrip you're within an hour+ to explore 22,000 sq miles of park wilderness. And, with the adjacent parks, Glacier Bay NP, Tatshenshini-Alsek Park and Kluane National Park add 16,000 sq miles to total 38,000 sq miles.
