What To Expect
In the Denali area, summer days seem endless, inviting you to step away from the hustle of tours and explore the raw beauty of the taiga and tundra on foot. This hike is a perfect way to experience Alaska’s wild landscape, with nothing but the sound of your footsteps and the rhythm of nature.
Beneath the canopy of spruce aspen and birch trees that define the taiga, the air carries the fresh, earthy scent of the forest floor. Here, mosses and hardy plants thrive in the cool, shaded undergrowth. As you walk, keep your eyes sharp for signs of wildlife—perhaps you’ll spot antlers dropped by caribou or moose, blending into the landscape, a subtle reminder of the creatures that roam this vast terrain.
Your guide will reveal the secrets of this delicate ecosystem, introducing you to the tiny plants that carpet the tundra, from lichen to wildflowers, and sharing stories of the resilient animals that survive in this rugged environment.
