Whittier has been dubbed both the “City Under One Roof\,” and “The Weirdest Town in America\,” and we are excited to show you our slice of Alaskan paradise! \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace.

SUMMARY:Prince William Sound\, AK - Volunteer Vacation 2024
DESCRIPTION:Help expand  trail access while being surrounded by the Gulf of Alaska and Chugach National Forest! Spend time exploring Alaska’s Prince William Sound with its 10\,000 square miles of protected waterways\, islands\, fjords\, and around 150 glaciers. This beautiful area is home to over 200 migratory birds\, 30 species of land animals\, and diverse marine life including orca whales\, sea otters and seals.  \nVolunteers will repair and extend the existing trail with rock and gravel\, while brushing out and clearing overgrown sections of trail with loppers and root pullers. The worksite can be accessed on foot from the camping area and is roughly 1 mile each way over varied terrain. The trail moves along creeks and through low land alders up into the classic conifers of the temperate rainforest. The trail is not difficult\, but will have steady elevation gain of around 500 feet over 1 mile and features rock/gravel and some roots and r muddy sections. \nDuring this trip\, Prince William Sound’s average high temperature is 54°\, and average low temperature is 44°. \nThere is no experience needed to join a Volunteer Vacation! Your expert hosts will provide detailed instruction\, tool demonstrations\, and project oversight throughout the week. All you need is a willing attitude and to be in good physical condition to participate in moderate physical activity for approximately 6-8 hours a day with plenty of breaks\, at your own pace.

We honor the land itself\, the Indigenous communities who have stewarded this land for generations\, their deep and sacred connection to these lands\, and those who continue to steward these lands today. We offer this land acknowledgement as the first of many steps to stand as an ally and amplify Indigenous voices. We invite the American Hiking Society community to join us through continued efforts to support Indigenous communities and learn more about the history of the lands on which we live\, work and recreate. \nClick here for a PDF of trip details.
