ATA Lodge announces Idube Photo Safaris' annual Bear Photography Workshop on the Alagnak Wild River for next season.

Dear Friends and Family of ATA Lodge We hope that you are continuing to stay safe and weather this storm we have all been subjected to.  As promised, we have been continuing to monitor the changes to Alaska State policy in regards to the Cornavirus and communicate any update as to how that effects ATA Lodge after the 21st of May.  We anticipated an announcement from the Governor of Alaska on Tuesday the 19th of May which could have the potential of effecting our ability to open or not.  That did happen and huge steps forward for the state of Alaska were taken, leap-frogging straight from Phase 2 of the reopening plan to Phase 4.  In effect announcing the simultaneous...
