Do you like jaw-dropping views? A good workout? Learning about Denali? If you answered “no” to any of those questions, this tour isn’t for you. But if you answered yes…
Ready? Leave the buses and boardwalks behind. Hike high into the Alaska Range. Feel the wind in your hair. As the views unfold, you can’t peel your eyes away. The rugged mountains rise around you like castles. The wide valleys stretch into the distance. The greens, reds, and blues of the tundra create a patchwork quilt unlike any other.
Now pick your jaw back up! There’s more to see, and higher to go! Toil further up the steep ridge. Scramble over jagged rocks. Stroll through dips full of delicate wildflowers. Later in the season, enjoy the bounty of wild blueberries, lingonberries, currants, and more.
So tell me - will you settle for the buses and boardwalks most people in Denali see? Or will you come with us and adventure into the Alaska Range, seeing views normally reserved for the Dall sheep? The choice is yours.

Adrian did a fantastic job. The hike was pretty strenuous but he stopped like every 10 to 15 minutes and talked for a while about the nature and the plant life. I especially liked when he stopped at berry patches and we got to pick berries and eat them! That made the hike very doable even for older (fit) adults, but at the same time made it a lot of fun. The views at the top of the mountain were stellar. It was probably the best hike of my life. Thank you Adrian for being super engaging, informative and fun!
