- 231 Parks Hwy - This tour is for the more fit travelers. Participants are expected to posses the ability to hike for five continuous hours up and down the nearby mountainsides. Our daily walking tours offer a similar experience in a less strenuous manner. While still a narrated tour, the interpretive hike covers more ground, and explores the glacier topology in depth. The extra time on the ground gives the group a chance to see the forested area near the Nenana river, the brushy but wildlife rich sub-alpine tundra, and the gorgeous views and highly adapted vegetation of the taiga.
Groups size is a maximum of 6 people. This is Alaska so bring your outdoor gear; sturdy walking shoes, water, jacket and rain gear, along with your camera and curiosity of this great land. Some of the basic equipment is available, including rain gear, water, overboots and trekking poles.

Amazing experience tailored to the group - We did a 5 hour nature hike. Our guide Alex was very knowledgeable and passionate about the local plant and animal life. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned a lot. We saw some great views and he gave us suggestions for other hikes.

Well Worth The Money! - Our guide Courtney was amazing. Her theme for our hike was Foraging where we were introduced and able to taste many of the plants and berries the are eatable in the forest. She was very knowledgeable and passionate about how both wild animals and man use the forest "produce" as nutrition. The hike was tailored to the group's abilities/wishes and included both beautiful forest and mountain climbs. We loved this experience!

Fabulous trip - Courtney was absolutely the best guide ever.
She took us on a trail and spent the entire time talking about local flora and fauna. She was such an absolute pleasure to be with. She and her husband also run a dog mushing tour in the winter.
If you want an ecologically minded tour, this is it.
Highly recommended

Amazing guide and experience - do it!!! You won’t regret it - Andy was THE BEST guide I could have imagined. I was scared when I saw how capable he and my co-guest were, but he was with me every step of the way and pushed me to things I didn’t think I could do. It was a spectacular hike and by far and away the best thing I’ve done in Denali, and I’ve seen some incredible things here. I felt really safe throughout, and Andy taught me so much on so many levels. What a great guy and guide. Thank you Andy!! From Rachel, UK

Great hike with a wonderful, knowledgable guide! - We were recently in Denali and loved our hike with Courtney, we went on a nature hike and she was extremly knowledgable about the plants, wildlife and area. We saw some breathtaking views and learned so much. It was a real treat for the four of us and will highly recommend to others.

A walk with Grizzly! - Though the weather was not great when we were supposed to start, our guide who was well-trained ensured that we had all the equipment.
Walking in Denali Park knowingly you can see a grizzly anytime is another kind of experience coupled with the lovely mountain views gazing at you from everywhere

Amazing hike up Antler's Creek, guide was phenomenal - We had planned on being on a hike with a number of people one night in July, and as it turned out, my 18 year old daughter and I were the only two that signed up, so Claire, our phenomenal guide, gave us some options. We ended up at Antler's Creek, 1000 feet up, resting and taking in breathtaking views. On the way up, she gave us more information that we expected, she spotted some wild blueberries (that were delicious), and she helped us navigate a hike that might have been a little more than we were used to but were able to love as we did it. The whole experience was awesome, and I'd hire them (and Claire specifically) again in a heartbeat.

Amazing education and hiking - One day i hiked through the boreal forest and up to the lower tundra with Alexis, who was so knowledgeable and considerate that she made a tough hike a pleasure. And it was one of the best hikes I've ever done, ending up on a ridgeline. Wow! The next day I did the heli hike in the upper tundra with Jeff ( via Temsco Helicopters). Jeff was also a font of knowledge and a great leader. It was a remarkable experience to be up that high, hike around and to learn about the ecosystem in its splendid minutiae and its overwhelming grandeur.

Awesome views - This was an amazing experience. Victoria took us way up on the mountain on an animal trail, and it was breathtaking views of the park. I highly recommend hiking shoes - not tennis shoes. Victoria was very knowledgeable, personable, and fun! Thanks for adding to a great vacation!!
