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 for your convenience.
Tags must be purchased and in your
possession before an animal is taken.
On the Kodiak Island, 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.
