TREK NOTES

Alaskan trips pass through rugged terrain and isolated areas. Many areas/campgrounds will only have basic/rustic facilities and little nightlife. Footloose groups in Alaska have only one guide. Groups will assist with camp duties including food shopping, preparation & washing-up.

TRIP ITINERARY

Our routes have been carefully chosen to include the best night stops and highlights. However, as local and operational conditions may vary and unforeseen circumstances can arise, the following itinerary should be used as a guideline.

Days: 1 Arrive Anchorage

Days: 2-4 Denali National Park

We begin by traveling to Denali National Park where nature survives in a timeless state. Surrounding the tallest mountain peak in North America, grizzly bears, caribou, Dall sheep, marmots and wolves, all roam the park. Activities such as river rafting, dog sled demonstrations or walking on a quiet nature trail are available near our lovely campground setting bordering the park.
