Overview
The Denali landscape is so vast that it can be easy to overlook its finer features. There is the aroma of wild blueberry bushes and spruce trees, the padded feel of tundra moss, and maybe even a trail of moose prints to notice. This immersive guided nature walk gives guests the chance to experience the beautiful details of Denali National Park's frontcountry.
Experience the beautiful natural details of Denali National Park.
The tour starts with pickups from local area hotels. Once the small group is gathered, the hiking guide picks the trail based off the local conditions and everyone's skill level. No matter the location, it's a quick drive to the trailhead. On the trail, the hike proceeds at a comfortable pace, with frequent pauses for the guide to point out the geology, plants, and animals that define the sub-arctic ecosystem.
Questions are encouraged along the way. Between the intimate group and this personalized attention, the tour feels like a private guided experience. After reaching a turnaround point halfway through the hike and returning with the same relaxed pace, the three-hour tour concludes with drop offs back at local area hotels.

Guest Feedback
"This was one of my favorites. The guide was great, and we learned a ton about plants, berries, and animals in the area. I saw my favorite animal, the busy muskrat!"
