I booked a Root Glacier hike with Johnny and boy am I glad I did! I normally would forego a formal tour and take a hike by myself, and I'm happy that I did the opposite this time. Johnny was an awesome guide! He was patient, informative, and since we were the only two people on the glacier at 8 AM in the morning, he took me around to all of the good picture taking spots. He showed me some of the remnants of the Gold Rush systems that exist on the mountainside to the right of the glacier; that was cool! I got some really amazing photos of the ice fall and other glacial structures and he even helped me fill my Camelback with delicious glacier water! He was super knowledgeable about the area, about the Root glacier structure (as well as the surrounding Kennicott glacier), and about the history of the surrounding area. It was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience and I'm glad I got a super cool and relatable guide like Johnny!

Here’s the truth, folks: There are a few companies in the area that book tours of the Root, but this company has individualized service, and it is totally worth the negligible amount of money. This July I booked a 7:00am private tour, and Amanda was my guide. It was just the two of us on the glacier. By the time we got off the glacier, other companies with much larger groups were arriving. Nothing against big groups, but if you want to move quickly, see more, and get a personalized experience, I highly recommend this company. And if you can get Amanda, you will not be disappointed. She was funny, wickedly smart and knowledgeable, and a perfect guide. It was an experience I will never forget.

We three mature ladies took the Root Glacier hike. Despite the really un-Alaskan weather (hot, hot, hot) we had a terrific time and are very proud we made this choice. Guide Stone provided hiking poles and crampons. He was well prepared for emergencies. We were able to go at our pace and liked the smaller group (just us) with McCarthy River Tours. He met us at the Kennicott Lodge were we were staying, however I understand other groups start in McCarthy. Although we are Alaskan and know our plants and quite a bit of Kennicott history, he was knowledgeable about those things also, and taught us quite a bit about the local geology. Time on the glacier was magical. Stone was able to show us things we wouldn't have found on our own.
