From the heights of the largest mountain in North America to the depths of glacier carved valleys and the plains of the tundra and taiga.

Trek Notes

Alaskan trips pass through rugged terrain and isolated areas. Many areas / campgrounds will have spartan facilities and little nightlife. This tour may operate in either direction.

Local Payments - Food Kitty: US$10 per day

• Day: 1-2 Anchorage & Wrangell-St. Elias National Park

  Leaving Anchorage we test the challenging McCarthy Road north past the massive Mantanuska Glacier. This humongous expanse claims Alaska's wild crown hands down. Untended trails, unpaved roads and unending views for the next 2 days are exactly what you signed up for! As the Wrangell Mountains cast their lengthy shadow, ready yourself for some top-notch glacier action. How about a guided hike on the Kennicott Glacier, or for a more vertical challenge, clip on the crampons for some ice climbing on Root Glacier.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day: 3 Tangle Lakes

  Great name and great place to chill out after the challenging, yet scenic drive, along the Alaska Mountain Range, crossing the famous 800-mile-long Alaskan Pipeline. Lake-splattered green plains stretch to distant mountains, and some wilderness canoeing should up your pulse rate.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day: 4-6 Denali National Park

  You'll be glad summer puts in so many overtime hours of daylight this far north. It's time to get stuck into the vast expanse of Denali National Park. Travel the lone road in this awe-inspiring national park for two full days of endless views and hiking opportunities. Snap a few shots of moose, caribou, fox and grizzly bear on our scenic bus ride and hike in the shadows of Mt. McKinley. Standing at over 20,320 feet, North America's highest mountain dominates every view on a blue sky day.
  Accommodation: Camping included

• Day: 7 Anchorage

  Okay, so once you've done the wilderness at ground level, set your sights a tad higher. Choose to soar over snow-capped peaks and see glacier-forged patterns from on high; the optional scenic flight will blow you away. Now that's what we call a grand finale!
  
  Tours ends at 18:00 hrs in Anchorage on day 7.
