3 Hour Naturalist Walking Tour in Denali National Park

3 Hour Naturalist Walking Tour in Denali National Park

Overview

Stroll leisurely through the forest of Denali National Park. As you walk, listen to your guide talk about the plants, animals, ecology, geology, and more that make Denali unique. Taste the bounty of edible berries that pepper Denali's forests.

Your guide is a true expert. Not a mid-rate guide who knows a few fun facts. They're a Naturalist who's prepared to answer any question you throw at them. They're ready for wildlife encounters with bear spray and good training. They have a Wilderness First Responder certification, making them better prepared than an EMT for an emergency in the backcountry. See? I told you they were an expert.

This is your chance to experience Alaska up close and personal. Your chance to feel the peat moss that so few do. Taste the elusive and legendary cloudberries. This is more than a walk. It's an all expenses paid teleportation into the inner workings of Denali National Park.

OH! And we donate 5% to conservation. You're helping Denali by taking this tour!

Sam was a fun tour guide. There were fantastic sights all day long. Learned plenty about the forest and all the fauna, plants, berries, and so on. Will strongly recommend.

A huge shout out to Trinidad for helping my friend & I to plan our trip. Jade was a great tour guide . We joined a Dad & his adult son on this easy walking tour as Jade described the local plants the Inuits used for survival. My favorite was the pumpkin berry that tasted like a sweet pea. Jade also passed on stories of the area as well. The best is having a small group since it was easy to hear Jade , ask our questions & partake of nature's "goodies".

This was an easy hike where we learned about the flowers, trees, animals, geology, and history of the area while enjoying occasional views of the local mountain range. Jade was very knowledgeable and had an easy-going personality that made me feel comfortable asking lots of touristy questions. Jade was also very patient as I took many photos of the scenery, and he responded to my various questions. FYI, this is not an adventure hike. It is an easy walk on established trails near the visitor center. Definitely recommend this hike for those who want to understand how the various parts of the ecosystem mesh together in Denali. Bonuses included a hotel pickup, water, and a snack.

Thank you for the review, Gary! Jade is a great guide, and I'm happy to hear that you learned a ton about the Denali area on your naturalist walk. You're dead on about the more relaxed nature of the naturalist walking tour. Our 4-hour Wilderness Wonders tour (off-trail) and 5-hour Into The Mountains tour would much more likely scratch anyone's adventure itch. We hope you return to Alaska again soon, and maybe we'll catch you on one of those other tours next time!
