Jodi R. – New York, New York

New Yorker Meets Backcountry Alaska

  1. “No danger
  2. No people
  3. Scoop me off the floor from exhaustion

These were the requirements I outlined to Joe for my human powered Alaskan
adventure. And he delivered on all of them. Trekking endlessly through the
backcountry for 4 days while surrendering to Joe’s expertise and knowledge
was an experience of a lifetime. The existing trails were made by Caribou.
The mountain floors were carpeted in blueberries. The air was clean and
fresh. The scenery was straight out of a National Geographic Magazine –
breathtaking. I could not have been further from New York City where I
reside. Mind, body and spirit.

I left my husband and 2 sons behind in New York who prayed for my safe
return (as did I). I could not have been in more protected hands than Joe’s
who guided me through several different terrains in the bears’ and moose’s’
backyard. Our hikes were just the right amount of challenging given my
level of fitness and Joe’s continuous engagement around my comfort level
made me feel even more secure. I literally pushed myself to new heights,
tested my emotional limits and hiked with an indescribable sense of
accomplishment – facilitated by Joe – but all made by me!

Traverse Alaska gave me a gift I will never forget. I close my eyes at
night listening to the city’s traffic and visualize being on top of
Alaska’s treasured mountains and pack rafting through its delicious rivers.
I will forever be grateful to Joe for both his kindness and encouragement.

So if you ever said to yourself “I would really like a new adventure,” then
don’t waste another second … book an Alaskan expedition that will blow your
mind!!!”

Another Iditarod in the books! This year was soooo Another Iditarod in the books! This year was soooooo different than any race ever before. We want to recognize Joe for his dedication to the logistics of the race for the third year now. From Arctic Oven tents to snowmachine parts to covid tests—anything else you can imagine that could pop up during an 800-mile dog race through the Alaska Range (twice this year)—it takes a special person to be able to handle all those logistics in a calm manner. We're lucky to have Joe and his logistical expertise on our team!

We love guiding writers/photographers/media and be We love guiding writers/photographers/media and being involved in productions which inevitably adds a level of focus to the adventure. In February last year, we had a couple media trips, such as this winter adventure with writer Eben and his friend Pete on a spring day with breathtaking views of Denali. Here's a clip from Eben’s article, “To see the real Alaska, you need to brave the rugged winter”. Full article via link in profile.

"Much of Alaska’s tourism infrastructure may shut down in the winter, but several guides and tours do still operate in the Denali region, and they specialize in winter excursions. Traverse Alaska offers custom adventures that can be tailored according to your interests. That includes hiking, backpacking, glacier trekking, snowshoeing, and dogsledding. Traverse provides transportation to and from your airport — in case you decide not to rent a car — and customizes itineraries for however long you like, whether it’s an afternoon of snowshoeing or a week-long packrafting trip."

Last week, Kierre and Mollie traveled to Seward and went on a private boat ride, visiting nearby bays and watching marine life, eating at the local restaurants, visiting a variety of lodging options, and exploring the beaches and ski trails.

Our review: Seward is amazing, as we’ve always known, and there are exciting things happening in this vibrant coastal town. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve learned—and for you to come and experience this for yourself.
