Our tour guide Bryce was fantastic, so knowledgeable about Alaska, Anchorage and all the activities available. He also gave us some restaurant tips and other hiking spots. Our trip was a little overcast but Bryce made the best of it!

It's a fruitful adventure. Not many people. Only four of us plus the guide trekking in the silence of great Nature. I enjoyed the total whiteness, the hovering mist between the divine-looking mountains. Bryce is a professional guide. He doesn't talk too much if not needed. He offered us a high-end binoculars to search for a fox (although I didn't see it :). He's patient with my questions and tried to accommodate every member's needs. I felt refreshed, relaxed and energized, only hoping to spend a little longer time with the mountains.

I appreciate your in-depth review of your experience with us :) Thanks for commenting on his expertise! We try to fluctuate between offering narrative when folks prefer us talking and letting folks explore with our oversight. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!
