Alaska! Thanks, Bob!
Highlights from our recent Out in Alaska Adventures:
We went some amazing places this past year.
We saw bears (close, but not too close!) in the wild, sea
kayaked past glaciers, rafted wild rivers, relaxed in scenic hot springs,
ate lots of fresh seafood, flew over Mt. McKinley, and much more.
Many of our guests this summer arrived excited about their "one
big trip to Alaska"; they left dreaming and contemplating their
next Alaskan adventure!
A highlight of 2006 was hosting 160 women
on an Olivia Post-cruise land tour!
We met their cruise in Seward and took these adventurous ladies to
Anchorage, Denali, Fairbanks, and Chena Hot Springs. It was a
hoot!
In June, Out in Alaska founder and lead wilderness guide, Tim Stallard
was honored with
a listing on Out magazine's famous "Hot List." Appropriately,
Paris Hilton was on the magazine's cover giving her endorsement that
Out in Alaska's wild adventures are "Hot."

Some other Out
in Alaska moments to remember:
In the summer of 2005, we took a 100-mile rafting trip on the Copper
River, famous for its red salmon, with gay comedian Bob
Smith. This powerful river cuts through the rugged Chugach Mountains
and two massive glaciers spill icebergs into the water below!
Fun was had by all on our Alaska adventure Blind Date for Instinct
Magazine.

Out in Alaska announces "Mancations"
for Gay and Lesbian travelers!
“Mancations”, in which vacationers engage in fun,
unabashedly male activities like fishing, outdoor sports, camping,
and/or beer drinking, are one of the hottest recent trends in travel.
Mancations are popular because of the mix of great activities, group
camaraderie, and the relaxed non-judgmental atmosphere where guys
are allowed to be themselves. Nothing beats a Mancation for some male
bonding with your friends.
In keeping with their inclusive philosophy, Out in Alaska’s
Mancations are not necessarily all men and are open to gay men, lesbian
women, and their friends. The small 6-10 person group size on an Out
in Alaska adventure means that one trip could be all gay men, a mix
of gay men and their straight male friends, a mix of men and women,
or all women. Stallard says, “Based on my reputation in Alaska
for planning and leading great wilderness trips, dozens of straight
friends have asked if they can come too.”
