Beginner route in Alaska

[Art L]

Hi all –

I've never packrafted before but have rafted on a full-size six person raft a few times where I was lead. I'll be spending a few weeks in Alaska this summer and am looking for a great packraft route for me to do with a friend. Had a couple questions for you all as I'd love to experience packrafting while I'm there! Would love to find the right Class I-II river for us to packraft.

* Do you know of any good loop routes that would require us to hike for a few days out, and packraft back to the trailhead?
* I'll be hiking with a partner. Is it more common to have a packraft each or one for the group?

Thanks!
