Experience Alaska’s backcountry on a remote, multi-day backpacking trip. Our backpacking trips include all camp gear (tents, tarp, cook stove), overnight gear (sleeping bags, sleeping pads and backpacks) and backcountry food. Clients are responsible for supplying all personal gear including warm layers, waterproof rain jacket and rain pants. Backpacking trips are in a backcountry environment and folks should be able to walk uphill, over uneven terrain, and carry 25lbs. for up to 8 hours per day.
All of our guides have year-round experience in Alaska. We are professional, well trained in history, culture, flora, fauna, geology and safety (all guides have Wilderness Medical Training). We love to share what we continue to learn about this ever-changing part of the world we call home.
Our backpacking trips are custom and private. Just you, your friends, family and your Private Traverse Guide(s). We carefully tailor each trip to your interest and abilities, specializing in creating a backcountry experience that will challenge you at your level. You won’t need to be concerned about outpacing or holding up other participants.
We have multiple options for varying degrees and levels of trips in the mountains that surround our base located in Denali Park, Alaska. The Central and Eastern Alaska Range and the Talkeetna Mountains are where we like to focus most of our backpacking trips. Options for flying in via Helicopter or fixed wing allow us to get further in if time is a factor. We also have many access points that we can drive to in the event weather prevents us from flying.
As mentioned above, we provide top of the line backpacking equipment, however you are welcome to bring your own gear if you are more comfortable. You can also try out some of our newer equipment. Up to you. However we will inspect your gear to make sure it meets our standards as we do not cancel trips due to weather. Which is why we insist upon bringing the right gear.
We don’t do technical mountaineering or climbing trips. For those you should reach out to our friends at The Alaska Guide Collective. We welcome experienced as well as novice backpackers who wish to learn how to travel in Alaska’s backcountry. We are also happy to turn a backpacking trip into a class for you and a group of your friends to help you better prepare to backpack in Alaska on your own.
Feel free to give us a call or shoot an email to discuss designing your next backpacking trip in Alaska’s Backcountry.
