Andy & Anne – Golden, CO

February 4, 2014

“On our honeymoon this past July, my wife and I we staying at the Tonglen Lake Lodge (highly recommended) while visiting Denali National Park. After doing and seeing all that Denali Park had to offer we were still very anxious to see what else Alaska had to offer. That’s when we found Traverse Alaska and just when we thought our trip couldn’t get any better, Joe proved us wrong.

Joe met my wife and I for a morning coffee to get to know us and plan a backcountry adventure specific to our likes and abilities (wife was 4 months pregnant). After chatting for a bit Joe offered up a couple options he felt best fit for us and explained in full detail what to expect from each option. The difficult part was deciding which custom adventure to choose. Joe gave us a list of items to bring, and our adventure began the very next morning!

The trip we took with Traverse Alaska was an incredible opportunity to see inside the heart of Alaska and go where only very few people have traveled before. The views were breathtaking, wildlife in it’s true environment and Joe is extremely knowledgeable with the history and geography of Alaska. All the equipment was clean, very well organized and at no point did we ever feel in any danger.

This was by far the highlight of our entire trip to Alaska and would highly recommend taking a custom backcounty adventure with Joe and Traverse Alaska. This truly was an opportunity of a lifetime and we can’t wait to visit Alaska again!”

Client POV on a 4-day Traverse Alaska / Tonglen La Client POV on a 4-day Traverse Alaska / Tonglen Lake Lodge trip package: 
Watching the sunset over a glassy Tonglen Lake after an introductory walk in the entrance area of Denali National Park. Tonight the chef served delicious halibut, and we’re going to listen to some music later in the lodge. Tomorrow we’re going on a full day of adventure, hiking and river rafting with our team of private, local guides. After exploring we’ll enjoy the mountain views at Tonglen, and sip wine and tasty appetizers until dinner. The following day we’re going on a bus trip into the national park, and are planning on hiking on our own (thanks to our new skills from our guided hike) and soak up the views of the Alaska Range mountains. Our final day we plan on going for another walk with our private guide, before we get a private ride to Anchorage, for the next portion of our 2-week-long Alaska adventure.
