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.

TripAdvisor Review We were picked up at our hotel parking lot and headed to another hotel parking lot to begin our hike up Sugar Loaf. I thought there would be a nice warmup, but this hike began with an incline almost immediately. Eventually, as we hiked through the wooded areas, we reached a gravel and rock area with a little technical climbing and high winds (though Alaskans will consider this “light winds”). Although strenuous and tricky at points, we were actually lucky to have a great hiking group that wanted to go all the way to the top. We went for it, and it did not disappoint. As we climbed up, it became more and more breath-taking, figuratively and literally. Jason, our guide, was excellent and recognized almost all the plants that we encountered along the way: berries, mushrooms, trees, etc, even picking some and offering the ones that were safe to eat. He also brought extra water, trekking poles, and gloves in case you need them, which I did need. Lastly, if you need recommendations for food or other things to do throughout Alaska, he was very knowledgeable about that too! Remember: slow is safe and safe is fast, so be careful, don’t rush, and enjoy the views!

Thank you so much for the review! That sounds like an awesome hike with a great group. With those superb views and wild berry snacks along the way, how could it get any better? We always try to have extras of anything our guests may need, so I'm glad to hear that Jason had you covered. Additionally, I couldn't have put your last line better myself!

I haven’t ever eaten more wild foliage than I did on this trip, an absolute rural plate must. Jason, our guide, was seemingly bottomless well of botany knowledge, and it’s hard to say what was more plentiful—the foliage, or Jason’s knowledge of the foliage. A breathtaking, edge-of-your- seat tromp majeure. I would highly recommend for the recreational hiker and the edible-plant curious. Skip this experience at your own peril.

Thank you so much for the review, Austin, and very well put! The combination of plant information and foraging knowledge that we specialize in is certainly breathtaking. I'm glad that you had a wonderful time with Jason, he's an excellent guide!
