I'm over the moon excited to do this Trek at AK. I had a couple questions. If I understand correctly it is reserved at the 180 point like dining but has a special phone line. Anybody know how early you can
call for this. Is the Trek always available every day of the week? Anybody have trouble booking at the 180 day point? Is it refundable with notice?

I do believe it is available everyday of the week, but call for confirmation. The 180 day booking is accurate. In talking with the IPO it didn't seem as if it typically books up all the way out and I've even read of some walk-ups going on the tour. They will honor your time slot however, regardless of how many show. Mileage may vary.
