Afterwards, we will travel to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center (AWCC). The AWCC opened to the public in 1993. It is located on 200 acres at the southern edge of Turnagain Arm and the entrance to Portage Valley. The center’s mission is to provide care and rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife and to provide wildlife education and awareness. Animals that are unable to be released or survive in the wild are given refuge in the center’s spacious habitats. Here people can safely get close, observe and photograph some of Alaska’s largest land animals, including moose, bison, elk, deer, caribou, bears muskox, small mammals and birds of prey. During spring and summer, visitors can often witness the rehabilitation of orphaned baby animals of various species. Lunch can be purchased from one of the food vendors at the AWCC. Lunch is not included on this tour but available for purchase. Later, weather permitting, we will ascend the Chugach Mountains for amazing and panoramic views of the Turnagain arm and beyond!
