Matt, Was amazing. He was patient and helpful with me. He provided everything you need to explore in snow shoes. Not only was he our guide, but he was a good source of interesting information. He knows everything about Alaska outside. So, Go Hike Alaska!

Had the pleasure of taking this tour with Matt while I visited anchorage and all i can say is Wow. I had a great time, enjoyed a nice 3 mile snowshoe hike in an absolute beautiful area of Alaska, yet it was only a 20 minute drive from the city, Matt is a great host and very knowledgeable about the surroundings, i would definitely do this again.
