Many of these are done as a loop, ending up back at the point where we begin. This offers flexibility with the itinerary. They can be done as backpack trips moving camp every day or spending a few days in one spot to explore on day hikes. Loop trips are a nice hybrid of basecamping and backpacking without going all the way to a point-to-point backpack. Most of these are fly-in/fly-out trips.
One of our most popular shorter trips. Quintessential Alaskan terrain featuring glacier exploration and jaw-dropping, in-your-face views of glaciers, icefalls and Wrangell range peaks. Our most economical backpacking trip.
Stunning and dramatic terrain with hanging glaciers, icefields, glacier hiking, ridge walks, alpine lakes, moderate scramble summits. A classic Alaskan valley and ridge-line for moderate backpacking and exploration.
Alpine Alaskan lakes nestled amid rolling tundra and easier terrain make it a more laid back choice - also a great family spot. Usually done as a base camp or hybrid trip with some backpacking and some day hiking. Enjoy the fantastic scenery with more moderate hiking.
One of the most popular spots in the park due to the dramatic peaks, hanging glaciers and great Alaska wildlife spotting including Dahl sheep and caribou. Backpacking, base camp and loop style trips are possible. This is a classic Alaskan pass.
This trip is all about exploring the high country in the Wolverine Mountain area. Amazing ridge walks and exploring opportunties. This is a combination of backpacking and base camping so the best of both allows for a lot of flexibility. Discovering the many fossils in the region is a bonus on this trip!
A new addition to our Alaska lineup. Enjoy an Alaska backpacking trip in remote solitude in Gates of the Arctic National Park. We have the freedom on this trip to do lots of backpacking or mix it up with some day hiking and exploration. Remote doesn’t have to mean hard-core.
This trip has so much going for it. We put in at Chelle Lake at around 3100 feet at the base of Mt. Drum near Mt Sandford and Mt. Wrangell. So the landscape is stunning but the hiking terrain is fairly moderate.
