We could not have had a better Alaskan hiking experience! Our guide, Caleb, was nothing short of PHENOMENAL! He was knowledgeable of the area's history, kept safety on the forefront and strived to ensure we had a memorable hiking experience. We also learned about and were able to try different berries along the way but were warned which plants and berries to avoid due to toxicity. So thankful we went with GoHikeAlaska and even more thankful to have had Caleb as our guide! Will definitely seek out another hiking experience with them on our next Alaska trip 😊

We had a great time with Caleb. He was very knowledgeable about the area and set a great pace for our hike. He set up a spotting scope so we could see some of the waterfalls across the river. The process of booking our hike was very easy. We highly recommend Go Hike Alaska.
