Tour Guide For Job Seekers: Wasilla and the Mat-Su Valley, Pt.2
Living in the Mat-Su Valley is such a gift. Each day I drive around Palmer and Wasilla I am in awe of the natural beauty of the mountains and wilderness surrounding us.
The real gift is the ability to escape and find your happy place, especially after long days at our jobs helping others through their struggles.
One of the happy places I have found has been on the water. We want to invite you to explore a few pages that showcase our accessibility to amazing water based activities right out the back door.
From AlaskaVisit.com:
Uncover hidden jewels of the Mat-Su Valley only accessible by boat, raft or kayak. Enjoy some of the finest Alaska whitewater rafting trips and hover in class V rapids through narrow canyons or see glaciers calve fall dramatically into the water below. Or take a mellow rafting trip or boat tour that only requires a sense of adventure and your camera. See wildlife like eagles, moose and maybe even a bear as they forage along the river beds in search of their next meal.
From Alaska.org
Floating down the river, you hear the rush of water approaching. Suddenly you see them: the unmistakable caps of whitewater. Before you know it you're in the middle of the rapids, holding on tight as water splashes all around. You spin and speed down the raging tides, white-knuckled yet smiling from ear to ear. Or perhaps you'd prefer to skip the rollercoaster ride and relax on a gentle float through a silent stretch of pristine Alaska wilderness, as nature goes about its business.Whether you choose a whitewater adventure or a scenic float trip, visitors will enjoy their time on the water, regardless of age or ability. These trips are some of the best ways to connect with nature in Alaska. You're outdoors, away from motors and exhaust, working closely in concert with the water. Because of our massive glacier runoff and rainwater drainage, Alaskan rivers serve up more adventure than most anything you'd find in the Lower 48—from the Kenai Peninsula's Sixmile River to Denali's Nenana River.
There are so many amazing adventures to be had in Alaska. So why should you go Alaska whitewater rafting or calm water rafting?
