5-Hour Mountain Hiking Tour in the Alaska Range - Denali Area

Overview
Do you like jaw-dropping views? A good workout? Learning about Denali? If you answered “no” to any of those questions, this tour isn’t for you. But if you answered yes…

Ready? Leave the buses and boardwalks behind. Hike high into the Alaska Range. Feel the wind in your hair. As the views unfold, you can’t peel your eyes away. The rugged mountains rise around you like castles. The wide valleys stretch into the distance. The greens, reds, and blues of the tundra create a patchwork quilt unlike any other.

Now pick your jaw back up! There’s more to see, and higher to go! Toil further up the steep ridge. Scramble over jagged rocks. Stroll through dips full of delicate wildflowers. Later in the season, enjoy the bounty of wild blueberries, lingonberries, currants, and more.

So tell me - will you settle for the buses and boardwalks most people in Denali see? Or will you come with us and adventure into the Alaska Range, seeing views normally reserved for the Dall sheep? The choice is yours.

We had a good experience, the tour guide provided guidance and walking sticks, he explained about the landscape and the fauna and flora of the place. The trail was a good one, and at the top a beatifull view. Jason was a great tour guide.

We went on a five hour guided hike. We were really blown away by the level of professionalism and educational knowledge that Jordan, our guide, was able to provide. He knew so much about the local environment, the culture, plants, trees, shrubs and even fungus. He was also able to tell us much of the history of Denali park. We were able to hike from just above the river all the way above the tree line and see great views of the surrounding area. We were also very impressed by the level of education the guides receive in the way of safety and field medicine. You never want to use those skills, but it is invaluable that your guides have them. We would definitely recommend Northern Epic to anyone wanting an “off the beaten path” small group individualized hike.

My husband and I had an absolutely amazing hiking tour in Denali National Park! The day of our tour, it ended up being just the two of us, but the tour wasn't canceled, and we were so grateful for that. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, sharing fascinating details about the park's history, wildlife, and landscape. The fall colors were in full bloom, painting the mountains with vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold – it was breathtaking! It felt like we had the entire park to ourselves, and the beauty of the scenery made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!
