A Season to Remember!

September 20, 2018

There are fall colors in the tundra, the moose and caribou are scraping the velvet off their antlers, the fireweed has gone to seed, and the sandhill cranes are migrating through.  There’s even fresh snow in the high country! Every year we look back on this time and think, how did this summer fly by Learn More

Logistics and Safety

May 17, 2016

Sitting at my desk, looking through the photos from our most recent adventure in the Eastern Alaska Range some feelings arise.  Normally, at least for me, it’s tough to look at photos right away.  They seem small.  The colors aren’t right and the scale isn’t true.  They lack the smell and feel that is still Learn More

Birds And Rivers

June 11, 2014

Aldo Leopold says “There is a peculiar virtue in the music of elusive birds. Songsters that sing from top-most boughs are easily seen and easily forgotten; they have the mediocrity of the obvious.” I would say that this is true for most things, including rivers and backcountry inaccessible by roads. There most certainly is a Learn More

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.
