We are writing to thank Alaska Mountain Guides and Climbing School for taking us on the 2010 Haines Students Summer Adventure Program. We enjoyed hiking Mount Riley and Flower Mountain; zip-lining, rock climbing, and rappelling in Skagway; and kayaking to Moose Meadows. All of our guides were fantastic!

We had fun learning how to self-arrest when falling, witnessing a rock slide, climbing up the mountain in snow steps, and looking at the view from a glacier on the Flower Mountain trip. Our favorite highlights on the kayaking trip were hiking to beautiful Twin Coves from Moose Meadows and learning how to paddle a kayak efficiently. (Push, don’t pull!)
