You must do this… you haven’t truly experienced living until you’ve explored the vast mountain and glacier landscapes of Alaska! We designed this 5-day base camp experience to hit the highlights and fully immerse you into the natural rhythm of the backcountry. Stare in wonder at the Harding Icefield from atop a mountain peak. Check. Feel the fresh glacier breeze in your hair as you hike on across the ancient ice of a glacier. Check. A friendly, local guide to share stories, point out curious animals, and guide you through the backcountry. Check, check, and check. With a fully immersive backcountry experience and an unbeatable price – it’s time you knocked this iconic Alaskan experience off your bucket list.

Small Groups & Cozy Camps

In contrast to crowded lodges and other hiking tours in Alaska, our base camps are comfortable, deep in the backcountry, and limited to 8 guests. Bottom line? A more intimate experience with everything from mountains, glaciers, and amazing vistas.

See What Most Are Missing

While the majority of visitors stay on the pavement and pathways, you’ll get to experience the picturesque backcountry, an array of wildlife, and stunning views completely inaccessible by car.

Award-Winning Guides

Beyond the jaw-dropping scenery, your experienced and friendly guide will share stories, local history, wilderness facts, and answer any questions you have throughout the tour.
