The trip is one of the best kept secrets in the US. Totally awesome river, great scenery even on a cloudy day, wonderful guides, the flight back over the river canyon we just rafted is a great way to end a wonderful trip!

WOW! We had such an incredible time visiting this beautiful place. Tim, our guide, enhanced our experience with his friendly demeanor and vast knowledge of the area (and offering a hot beverage on a cold hike was the cherry on top)! Skolai pass was one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever been - ...
Our family of 5 went on a Full Day Glacier hike with our guide Gabe and we had an unbelievably incredible experience and day. It was truly the top highlight of our jammed pack 12 day Alaska trip. Our 3 teenagers kept telling me this was one of the best experiences of their life! ...

The Kennecott Mill Tour was a lot more than I had expected---in a good way! Our guide shared many many details of the mines and the mill. You hike to the top of the mill, and then enter the cavernous, old (but structurally sound, thanks NPS!) mill. Each floor is detailed and explained. There ...
Best day in Alaska! Glacier hike was amazing. David, our guide, made the trip fun, safe, informative....Just a perfect day. If you are going to do a glacier hike in Alaska...do it here. We were so happy we chose this place as it was clearly the most impressive glacier we saw accessible to hiking. ...
