We booked our tour through Alaska Tour and Travel as part of a package. Go Hike Alaska was promptly emailing us ahead of time for waivers and confirmation of pick up location, etc. The Alpine Classic Trek was our second experience with Go Hike Alaska on this vacation. Our Guide Lea was prompt at the pick up location. We waited 10 minutes while she tried to find the last person booked for the excursion. Once it was confirmed that they would not make it, we were off! Lea is a wonderful guide and we were happy to have her lead us on this second outing. The hike is a steep incline right off. We had gone up Mt Healy in Denali, and it was more of a switchback that went up gradually. The Alpine Hike was straight up with several breaks provided by Lea to catch our breath, or I should say my breath, the rest of my party seemed to have no issues! We were advised to get some pictures in early, since the clouds will be unpredictable on this day when we reach the top. Lea was correct! We got to the top and were surrounded by a cloud. You could not see anything. We stayed at the top for 30 minutes - in that timeframe it did clear up somewhat, and we were able to get some really nice pictures. We were given a choice on paths to return back down to the vehicle. Lea made sure to explain what the differences were. We chose the back side. It was a moose trail, and muddy. We were prepared. It was muddy, but a very different decent! All of my party enjoyed the hike up and back down.

It was a great hike with some amazing views at the top of the mountain. We got to pick some blueberries and we both had a great time. Brit was an amazing guide. We were lucky to have her.

Great hike! Our guide was really nice. The elevation is challenging for sure but the views are so worth it.
