Confirmed trips looking for participants
The Wrangell/St. Elias region is little known and seldom visited. This is a tremendous advantage for those of us who relish solitude and enjoy true exploration. Its obscurity, however, does make it more expensive for potential adventurers who are traveling alone or in pairs, as not all of our scheduled trips get enough participants to run.
If you are planning at least 2 months in advance and have at least 2 people in your party, we will guarantee the departure of any of our scheduled trips. However, if you are travelling alone or are planning more last minute, or if you simply prefer the camaraderie of a slightly larger group, this is a great place to look for trips that are sure to go!
Some of these trips have special pricing, and others are simply our group prices and dates that are already confirmed departures, so you know that even if you’re traveling alone, your trip will be sure to go! These are not the only trips available, so be sure to contact us for more suggestions.
