Trophy hunting is featured at Rainy Pass
Lodge. It is one of the few places in Alaska
where one can hunt for six species of big
game animals from one camp. These six
animals are Dall Sheep, Grizzly/Brown Bear,
Black Bear, Moose, Caribou, and Wolf.
Excursions are also taken during the winter
and summer months from Rainy Pass Lodge on
the historic, world famous Iditarod Trail.
On the first week end of March, the Iditarod
Dog Sled Race passes through the Lodge as
more than 70 teams race toward Nome. This
legendary event is known as "The Last Great
Race". It is a race of endurance and triumph
over hostile wilderness elements that
commemorates the victorious race to take
life saving serum to Nome, Alaska during the
Diphtheria epidemic of 1925. In the summer,
horse back trail rides are scheduled along
the Iditarod Trail in some of the most
magnificent and spectacular scenic country
that the world has to offer.
Most of the hunts conducted
at Rainy Pass Lodge are for a combination of
two or three species. These include Dall
Sheep, Grizzly Bear, Moose, and Black Bear.
Caribou may be added to the hunts, when in
season, for a trophy fee of $1,500. This
trophy fee will be due and payable, only
after success. Alaska Hunting Licenses and
Big Game Tags are available at Rainy Pass
Lodge and the Alaskan Peninsula Camps for
your convenience. Tags must be purchased
and in your possession before an animal is
taken.
On the Alaskan Peninsula, you can stalk in
the shadows of ancient volcanoes for the
huge Alaskan Brown Bear, one of the worlds
highest ranked trophies. It is a joy to
watch these big bears come out of their dens
in May and plow through the deep snow as
they travel to lower terrain. It is even
more thrilling to hunt them at close range
on the salmon streams in October.
It is the goal of Rainy Pass Lodge to help
sportsmen and women from around the world
live their dream, just as he has, by
providing a quality Alaskan adventure that
each deserves and should expect.
Hunting fees include
equipped camps, guide services,
transportation in the field, and field
preparation of trophies. Trophies may be
sent to your taxidermist by an expediter.
You pay final trophy preparation, crating,
and shipping costs. Fees do not include your
hunting license, tags, transportation to the
point of outfitting, hotel accommodations,
liquor or gratuities. The round trip flight
to the Alaskan Peninsula Bear Camps depends
upon the location of the particular camp.
Plan to arrive in Anchorage
two days before the starting date of your
hunt. You will be met at the airport and
escorted to your hotel. The next day,
weather permitting, you will be flown to the
Lodge so that you can begin your hunt on the
following day. You will hunt a full 10 or
12 days, depending on the combination hunt
you selected. Weather permitting, you will
be flown back to Anchorage the day after
your last hunting day. Each hunter will pay
a round trip charter fee of $500 between
Anchorage and Rainy Pass Lodge. Charter
fees on the Alaskan Peninsula will depend
upon the location of the hunting camp.
Weather permitting you will be flown to the
lodge the day before your hunt begins. You
will leave the lodge the day after your hunt
is scheduled to finish. Un-scheduled
charters may result in an additional charter
fee. Alaskan wild game meat is excellent and
we suggest that you take at least a sample
home. Commercial processing facilities are
available in Anchorage for your convenience.
Rainy Pass Lodge is one of the few remaining
outfits that uses horses in most of it's
hunting camps.
Non Hunters
A limited number of non-hunting guests

in the Alaska Peninsula hunting camps. The
