For adventure enthusiasts, try the rafting on Sixmile Creek with one of Hope's local rafting companies. Class four and five rapids with lots of great scenery will get your blood pumping. Amazing hiking opportunities include the Palmer Creek access area, Resurrection Trail, and the Gull Rock Trail, all maintained by the US Forest Service.

I love this little house in hope. It has all the things you need to feel at home in Alaska. The views out the picture window are often like turning on the learning channel. so much is happening. From moose and eagles to countless birds. Beautiful. The deck in front is a lovely place to relax and enjoy the sounds of Alaska. Plus Kent and Melanie are wonderful hosts. Very helpful and layer back. Don't be afraid to ask, they probably know it. Truly a special place in Hope Alaska!
