Alpine Classic Trek

Overview
Experience the thrill of ascending to heights offering 360-degree views of the nearby Cook Inlet and interior Chugach mountains. Gaze at deep, glaciated, u-shaped valleys, and giant ridge lines defining the landscape. Imagine pristine, treeless, tundra loaded with vegetation that you can touch, taste, and feel. If you have never seen alpine before, prepare to be amazed!

Alpine trekking is an incredibly unique way to see the landscape. You can see endless miles of mountainous terrain. On a clear day, we can even see Mt. Denali hundreds of miles away! Plus, once you're on top, the terrain can be fairly flat, making the trekking a truly enjoyable experience. During the tour, we may see moose, bear, Dall sheep, mountain goats, and a variety of small mammals like arctic squirrels and marmots. There are also plenty of birds to gaze at like bald eagles, thrushes, chickadees, and jays. This is one of our favorite ways to experience Alaska and the Chugach State Park.

My wife and I did the Alpine Classic Trek in July. My biggest regret is not going even bigger. The hike was enjoyable, the view from the top incredible, and the guide (Rebecca) knowledgable. I highly recommend.

Beautiful hike, our guide was Knowledgeable and was interested in her clients. She pointed out viewpoints and flowers along the way. She took us farther than planned route since we were ahead of schedule.
