Overview

Adventure. Authenticity. Exploration. This tour embodies these ideas. Leave the trails and cookie-cutter tours behind to go off-trail into the magical boreal forest just outside of Denali National Park.

Put on your future-shoes for a moment. Your feet sink into the deep moss that carpets the forest floor. It feels like walking on a memory foam mattress. Your guide hands you a handful wild blueberries. They’re tastier than the ones you bought at the store. The flavors wash over your tongue as your guide tells you about the nutritional benefits.

From the corner of your eye you spot movement! A snowshoe hare. It hasn’t lost its ivory-white winter coat yet. Your guide decides to change course and follow the hare. Why not? You’re not on a trail.

Now drag yourself back to the present. Is that snapshot something you want to experience on your Denali vacation? If so, you're the person we designed this tour for. The magic starts when you leave the trail.

We donate 5% to conservation.

What To Expect

Denali Park

We will pick you up from your hotel and take you to a section of boreal forest and tundra just outside Denali National Park. Your guide will take you on an off-trail walk through the forest, teaching you about the incredible ecosystems that make this area unique, as well as the fascinating cultural history of Denali. From the Athabaskan peoples to the trappers and survivalists who have cut their teeth on the Alaskan wilds over the last couple of centuries, you will be enthralled by the tales of cunning and perseverance that abound in this harsh landscape. Your guide will then drive you back to your hotel. The whole experience will take 3.5 - 4 hours.
