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!

This was my first time in Denali. The hike is 3 hours long and not difficult at all. Trinidad was very enthusiastic and his knowledge of the flora and fauna was impressive and added to the overall experience. I would highly recommend this hike.

I went on a guided hike with northern Epics yesterday where Trinidad and Jordan showed us a lovely trail through part of the park. I totally recommend going with these guys because I would have never known one tenth of the things they showed us. They gave such an in depth explanation over every single question I asked ranging from rocks to animals to the Athabaskan people (I ask lots of questions too so I was thoroughly impressed Trin and Jordan had the knowledge) . Trinidad’s speciality is in plants and lichen and he showed us all the edible flowers, lichen, berries and even showed us the poisonous ones as well which look very deceiving and similar to the edible ones. I now feel equipped to survive on my own off berries and plants in the wild (well maybe only for a couples days)!! My favorite part in the trip was when they led us through a sneaky game trail into an open mossy meadow overlooking the mountains where we frolicked around and relaxed on the comfortable Peat’s Moss. We would have never found this area without them. Also, big thanks to Northern Epics for providing rain jackets and trekking poles. If you are looking for a fun, safe, and informative hike, I would totally recommend that Northern Epics is the way to go!

Going hiking in Denali Park and Preserve can be a daunting experience, if you are an experienced or unexperienced hiker. Our guide Trinidad was an encyclopedia on legs. His knowledge for the flora, fauna, and natural history of the tundra is astonishing. He was always willing and ready to teach, to talk, to listen, to do another hike, or to lie low when we were hiking letting us enjoy the beauty. He truly gave us the trip we wanted!
