Alpine Classic Trek in Anchorage booking from $169.00

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.

This hike was excellent! Our guide, Greg, took us to a trail outside of Anchorage that we would have never found on our own, given this was our first trip to AK. Greg is really kind, insightful, and all around a cool guy. He went out of his way to ensure our safety and enjoyment. Would highly recommend to those who like to hike. Great way to see AK from yet another beautiful perspective. Many thanks to Greg!

What awesome views!! This is not the right hike for you if you don’t want to put in the effort to get to the top. The first 45 minutes of the climb are the toughest. But if you do, the views are spectacular. Our guide Greg was great. Providing interesting facts about the area and just general information about Alaska. Would do it again just for the view!

Thanks for coming out with us! If I could put Gregg as the guide on all of the hikes I would, haha.

Our hike up Mt. Baldy was a great experience. Madison, our guide, was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the vegetation in the area. The hike itself was relaxing and not too strenuous. It would be good for families or anyone who wants a nice workout and scenic view. This was a great hike to begin our trip in Alaska. This hike got us used to the area and helped prepare us for hikes later in our trip. We would recommend this hike to anyone!
