Barbara Falls
We start the tour by following the gorgeous South Fork Eagle River, pausing to observe the ice-dam formations created by frigid-cold and fast-moving water. Ice crystals appear to grow from the surface of the water, slowing and raising the water level in terrific ways. Just minutes later, we arrive at the base of the magical 25-foot waterfall where you see shimmering icicles, fascinating ice bridges and falling water frozen-in-time. After stocking up a store of photos to show your friends and family, we embark on a short nature walk. You will see the stunning vegetation living within our diverse boreal forests. Towering species such as white spruces, paper birches, and aspens drape the frozen ground below. We will explain the intriguing biological mysteries happening within the lichen, mosses, and trees that surround us. We could also see local wildlife, such as: moose, hare, rodents, and birds. Transportation included in total time of tour: (1 hour transportation & 4 hours hiking)

Chutes Barbara
Nous commençons la visite en suivant la magnifique rivière South Fork Eagle, en nous arrêtant pour observer les formations de barrages de glace créées par des eaux glaciales et rapides. Des cristaux de glace semblent se développer à partir de la surface de l'eau, ralentissant et augmentant le niveau de l'eau de manière formidable. Quelques minutes plus tard, nous arrivons à la base de la cascade magique de 25 pieds où vous voyez des glaçons scintillants, des ponts de glace fascinants et des chutes d'eau gelées dans le temps. Après avoir fait le plein de photos à montrer à vos amis et à votre famille, nous nous embarquons pour une courte promenade dans la nature. Vous verrez la végétation étonnante vivant dans nos diverses forêts boréales. Des espèces imposantes telles que des épinettes blanches, des bouleaux à papier et des trembles drapent le sol gelé en dessous. Nous expliquerons les mystères biologiques intrigants qui se déroulent dans les lichens, les mousses et les arbres qui nous entourent. Nous avons également pu voir la faune locale, telle que l'orignal, le lièvre, les rongeurs et les oiseaux. Transport inclus dans le temps total de la visite : (1h de transport & 4h de randonnée)

Amazing views, fun facts galore about Alazka, wildlife and trivia, and of course, the opportunity to walk alongside and over a half-frozen river to a beautiful waterfall. Mike and Bryce were wonderful guides; make sure you experience this wonderful mini-adventure.

Mike was amazing! I’ll definitely book him as my guide in a heartbeat. I learned so much about different things about plants and animals, that i would have usually overlooked. He was also very helpful w/ iPhone photography, and we had great discussion about everything. He even recommended us to a nice restaurant that has been our favorite so far on this trip. We love you, Mike!!!!
