- Guided in English

Highlights
Stroll leisurely 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 bounty of edible berries that pepper Denali's forests. Your guide is a true expert. Not a mid-rate guide who knows a few fun facts. 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 an all expenses paid teleportation into the inner workings of Denali National Park. OH! And we donate 5% to conservation. You're helping Denali by taking this tour!

5Great hike and great guide
This was an excellent time and very informative. Don was our guide and he seemed to really love the area and was knowledgeable about everything we wanted to see. September was the perfect time for us but he made us want to come back another time as well.
5Great!
Jade was amazing, funny, and knowledgeable.
5Beautiful walk.
Don knew alot about nature and since we were biologists it was just up our alley. If you are not into details about plants and nature it may not be for you, but it an easy walk and absolutely beautiful including some wonderful bridges that you cross which are perfect for photos.
5Great walk
Abby was so knowledgeable and helpful. She shared so many great insights about our walk. Beautiful fall colors were the icing on the cake.
5Nature Hike
Jade took us on a great nature hike pointing out natural herbs all around us. He is very engaging and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna in Denali. He's energetic and kept us moving at the perfect pace.
5FANTASTIC hiking adventure in Denali
Jade was fantastic!!! It was only Jade, my friend, and I. Jade customized the tour based on our love of hiking. He took us on a trail and taught us about the edible berries and plants. He answered a TON of our questions about hiking, wildlife, and so much more. On our way back, he took us 'off trail' through a moss field. We explained that 'off trail' is a bad thing where we live. Jade explained that there are much fewer visitors and a small window of time to visit Denali. 'Off trail' with a trained guide is fine, as they understand the environment and can teach us so much more. I HIGHLY recommend this company!!!

About Denali National Park
Denali National Park is six million acres of tundra, spruce forest and glaciers in interior Alaska, centred on the highest mountain in North America.
Denali National Park and Preserve covers about six million acres of interior Alaska, a landscape of braided rivers, tundra, spruce forest and glaciers spread across the Alaska Range. The mountain itself, 6,190 metres high, is the highest in North America. It often hides in cloud, so a clear view of the summit is a matter of luck.
