Driving Tours

Adventure Kart Expedition. There's no faster route to feeling like a kid on a first go-kart outing than spending a few hours in one of Adventure Kart Expedition's cool little off-road vehicles. After choosing a helmet, you'll get a quick lesson in the how-tos of driving one of the vehicles. Then you, and the people in the lineup of ATVs you'll race along with, will put pedal to metal (literally) as you zip down old backcountry timber trails. Wear old clothes: there's no way you're coming back from this one clean. Depending on the weather, the trails will either be dusty or mud-filled; but they're always fun. Kids can ride along if they meet the height and weight requirements (50 inches and 40 pounds) and have an adult participating with them. Whipple Creek, Ketchikan, Alaska, 99901. 907/225–8400; www.adventurekarts.com. From $209.
