[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body”]It\u2019s the last frontier. A vast, wild, and extreme untouched landscape. Home to 23 peaks over 4,000 meters, 8 National Parks, and over 6,000 miles of rugged coastline. <\/span>Alaska<\/a> is an entire universe of outdoor adventure just waiting to be explored.<\/span>\u00a0Your perfect opportunity<\/a> awaits: Sunny Cove Kayaking.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9999994056″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body”]<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sunny Cove offers kayaking, hiking, camping, and glacier cruise tours. Located about 2.5 hours from Anchorage<\/a> (as close as Alaska gets to a metropolis),<\/span> and just outside the borders of the stunning Kenai Fjords National Park<\/a> Sunny Cove\u2019s slice of the last frontier is one of the finest.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9999994061″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body” bb_tab_container=””]Sunny Cove runs tours in three locations: Resurrection Bay, Fox Island, and Kenai Fjords National Park. Each of which is a different type of wonderland to call your office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9999994063″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body”]Not to get cheesy, but the culture at Sunny Cove is almost as beautiful as the views are. Built on the adventurer\u2019s spirit and unique personalities they’ve fostered an intriguing culture of enthusiasm, adventure, and respect. <\/span><\/p>\n If you\u2019re genuinely stoked on sharing your love for adventure and the outdoors you could be a perfect addition. Another perk of the job: many of Sunny Cove\u2019s adventure tours end at a local brewery throwing back a cold one with your new best friends.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9999994058″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body” bb_tab_container=””]<\/p>\n Visitors come to Sunny Cove for a multitude of reasons, and that\u2019s because there is no shortage of adventure up for grabs.<\/span><\/p>\n Some visitors come for the wildlife (think salmon, eagles, seals, otters, sea stars, and whales). The fjord estuary ecosystem is an important meeting place for land and marine animals. Nutrient rich waters fuel a complex ecosystem here, in the spaces between land and sea. The estuary ecosystem is as important to moose, bear and wolves as it is to orcas, porpoise, and sea-otters.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9999994057″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body” bb_tab_container=””]Others visitors come to Kenai for the surroundings. Mountains ice and ocean meet in Kenai Fjords NP. In a single day you can hike on glaciers, touch icy waterfalls, paddle through towering rock walls, explore coastal rainforests, and gawk at snow capped peaks. <\/span><\/p>\n The Harding Ice-field Trail<\/span><\/a>, pictured above, gives you the rare perspective of what the last ice age must have looked like.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body” bb_tab_container=””]If you\u2019re going to be working in Alaska you’ll need to learn to live like a local. It has always been my opinion that extreme environments breed the most interesting cultures. The last frontier is no exception.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n In Alaska summer is Salmon season, and you\u2019ll need to catch your share if you plan to make it through the winter. Fishing is more than just a hobby here, it\u2019s a way of life. Many of the locals genuinely depend on their summer catch to get them through the lean winter months.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”9999994059″ img_size=”full” add_caption=”yes” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image” css_animation=”fadeIn”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn” el_class=”blog-text-body” bb_tab_container=””]Another perk of the job: getting to live under The Northern Lights. From August to April the Aurora Borealis are a regular occurrence. <\/span><\/p>\n Maybe it\u2019s solar energy hitting Earth\u2019s magnetic field, or maybe it\u2019s the spirits of those who have already left our world floating in the ether. Who am I to say? <\/span>You can check out more about the interesting mythology<\/a> surrounding this incredible phenomenon here.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]If you\u2019re looking for a truly wild experience, leap like a salmon and put in your application now<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s the last frontier.
