The Experience
What your day looks like
Take a leisurely stroll through the forest of Denali National Park. As you walk, listen to your guide talk about the plants, animals, ecology, geology, and more that make Denali unique. Taste the numerous and exotic edible berries that cover Denali's forests. Your guide is a true expert. They're a Naturalist who's prepared to answer any question you throw at them. They're ready for wildlife encounters with bear spray and good training. They have a Wilderness First Responder certification, making them better prepared than an EMT for an emergency in the backcountry. See? I told you they were an expert. This is your chance to experience Alaska up close and personal. Your chance to feel the peat moss that so few do. Taste the elusive (and legendary) cloudberries. This is more than a walk. It's a teleportation into the gears that turn the forest of Denali National Park. The walk is just the canvas that your guide paints the tour onto.

Detailed Itinerary
The journey, in full
Your guide picks you up from your hotel (or an agreed upon meeting location) and takes you to the trailhead. Enjoy a fantastic stroll through the boreal forest of Denali, learning everything there is to know about the plants and animals of the National Park. Your guide drops you back off at your hotel, or anywhere else you'd like to be dropped off. You impress your friends with the extent of your knowledge about the terrain of Alaska. They'll be shocked when you point to a clearing and can tell them what kinds of tasty berries will be growing there.

Restrictions
Small children must be accompanied and supervised by an adult. Our guides love kids, but they can't chase down runaway children and guide a tour at the same time. Believe me, they've tried. This is a three hour hike. If you have mobility or health issues, I would strongly recommend giving our team a call to discuss if you'll be up for this hike. It's not very strenuous, but three hours is a long time to be on your feet.
Meeting & Pickup
