With long hours of daylight, there’s plenty of time to enjoy
Tsaina’s lengthy list of accessible adventures. When the
snow melts, the Chugach becomes a wide-open primitive
landscape, dotted with clear mountain lakes and flowing
alpine streams. Anglers can reach these choice untouched
waters in an R44 Raven helicopter, which takes off from Tsaina
and through guided expertise drops guests at remote fishing
holes for long days of casting for King Salmon. Beyond the
excitement of heli-fishing, additional activities include hiking
in the nearby Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve,
sea kayaking among massive glaciers, and bouncing through
rapids in a whitewater raft.

The action will be rewarded with nights of extreme
relaxation at Tsaina’s new lodging options, which blend
modern design and comfortable furnishings, including
Tempur-Pedic beds. Guests can stay in one of the Deluxe
Rooms at the base of the mountains or overlook the majestic
Worthington Glacier in one of the second-story Glacier View
Rooms. Restore sore arms after a long day of heli-fishing
with a massage; then head to the legendary Tsaina Bar for a
drink. The well-known former extreme skier hangout has been
rebuilt but still holds many features of its longstanding charm,
including the original bar, pool table and wood stove. After
unwinding with a cocktail, it’s time for a delicious meal at the
Glacier View Bar and Grill, which specializes in freshly caught
fish dishes.
