Outdoor Clothing at Patagonia

If it doesn't then they have one of the best lifetime guarantee anywhere! They also donate 1% of all proceeds to a grassroots organization. It is worth EVERY penny.

Outdoor Gear at Sierra Trading Post

Join the Sierra Club
The Sierra Club is the largest organization protecting our environment. If you believe that we have an obligation to future generations, and if you care, there is no more powerful statement you can make than adding your voice with more than 700,000 Americans who support the Sierra Club.

Fly to Valdez on Alaska Airlines
Alaska Airlines is our airline of choice for much of the US. You can also book trips from their partner airlines so it is really a one stop shop. They have a great milage program. You can also book your ERA Avitaion flight to Valdez at this site.

Alaska Maps at National Geographic
National Geographic Online Store offers great maps and mapping software. If you would like to order a map of where you will be traveling, this would be a great place to look. Choose a TI map of Prince William Sound East for Valdez departures, Prince William Sound West for Whales, Ice and Islands trip, and Wrangell St. Elias for those trips. Look under National Park maps.

West Marine seems to be located everywhere, so I thought I would include this link. You might be able to find some good knickknacks for the trip. This does not mean you should carry knickknacks on our trips though!
