Where We Guide
We operate all over Alaska. Gates of the Arctic, Wrangell-St. Elias, Denali, Lake Clark, ANWR. The trips range from weeklong backpacking expeditions to basecamping adventures to packrafting and sea kayaking trips to wildlife photography tours.
Different guides, different skillsets, different landscapes.
The same attention to expertise and focus on the work we do.
Our guides lead all trip types. Challenging backpacking expeditions, gentle packrafting trips, basecamp adventures and multiday sea kayaking trips. Each guide has their specialty, but most are comfortable leading a wide range of our trips. Rhane might finish a two-week traverse over Malaspina Glacier and follow it leading a short basecamp and paddle trip at Turquoise Lake. That range matters in Alaska.
Since 2002 we’ve been running small group trips in places that don’t see many people. These aren’t crowded trails. We’re talking remote Alaska. Fly-in access only, off-trail routes. Genuine wilderness. The guides know these areas because we’ve been back dozens of times. We know where the good campsites are, where to expect wildlife, how weather moves through the region.
We also adapt when conditions demand it. Alaska weather can force a complete trip change on short notice. We’ve shifted to an entirely different expedition, over a thousand miles away, on the first morning of the trip. Our crew makes it work.
The folks guiding your trip aren’t here for a summer gig. We’re here because we want to be. We come back year after year. That matters when you’re ten days into the backcountry.
