Classic Alaska Backpacking Adventure
Anchorage
Przegląd wycieczki
This unforgettable backpacking adventure traverses an alpine ridge with dramatic views of the surrounding Alaskan wilderness and the famous Alaska Range. Known to Athabaskans as ‘The Ancient One’, the ridge we traverse boasts better views of Denali than any other trail in the state of Alaska. At 20,310 feet, Denali is North America’s tallest mountain, and one of the coldest mountains in the world. The climate surrounding its summit is notorious for hiding the mountain from view much of the time. When the weather permits, this trip provides unobstructed views of of the mountain – towering almost 17,000 above us – every single day as we hike.
Beyond its views of Denali, this trip embodies the vastness, grandness and breathtaking, wild beauty that has made Alaska iconic. We hike across rugged tundra, past lakes and rivers, and above the forests, river deltas and vast expanses of wilderness that characterize Alaska. Join us for an adventure you’ll remember forever!

This morning your guide will pick you up at your hotel in Anchorage and we’ll enjoy a quick breakfast. Our journey takes us north of Cook Inlet along the Susitna River Valley towards the Alaska Range. At our trailhead along a pristine mountain creek tumbling down from the mountains we begin with a steep ascent of the north side of the ridge we will follow for the next 5 days. We will ascend above the trees into the alpine tundra, where we are rewarded with 360 degree views of the surrounding wilderness, which includes Denali. Arriving at camp we will have breathtaking views of Eldridge Glacier, one of the largest glaciers in North America. After setting up camp we’ll settle in for the night and enjoy our first delicious dinner prepared by your guide.
