Flag the historic Flag Stop Hurricane Train (one of that last flag stop trains in North America) and ride the rails from the historic Talkeetna townsite depot to Chase approx. 11 miles north of Talkeetna, wave your flag and the train stops here and lets you off. You will then hike down to the area where the rafts will be readied for you or you can help get them ready for the float trip down the mighty Susitna River. Floating this pristine glacial fed river offers many beautiful wilderness scenes. Imagine quietly floating, so quiet that you can hear the suspended silt as it brushes against the raft's floor; going with the river's flow seeing ferns that drape the river's edge so large that they topple over due to their height and weight; some measuring well over 8 feet tall. Eagles flying by, salmon jumping in the river, moose crossing the side creeks, an occasional bear stalking fish along the river banks; all of these things are possible to see in the wilderness of Alaska. We certainly don't promise seeing them on this tour, but it is possible and it is the wilderness of Alaska. Along the float trip you'll stop on one of the islands and receive your complimentary "Flag Stop Rail 'n Raft" 6 pack cooler filled with your delicious gourmet lunch which includes, a generous sandwich on a freshly baked whole grain bun filled with Alaskan lettuces, variety of cheeses, and various deli meats topped with a special sauce, fresh fruit, cheese stick, chips, Krismoos trail mix and bottled water. After lunch you will continue on your wilderness soft adventure floating on the mighty Susitna River for some 12 miles of river back to the town of Talkeetna. You will arrive at approximately 4:00pm, just in time for that last minute shopping and dinner at one of our great local restaurants.
