Day 1: Your backpacking trip begins today in Anchorage, Alaska. You can arrive at any time and transfer to our bed & breakfast independently. This evening, you’ll meet your guide at 6pm and head to an orientation dinner at a local restaurant. Dinner during your backpacking Denali National Park trip is included.

Day 2: This morning we’ll make our way over to Lake Hood Seaplane Base where we’ll board a floatplane bound for the Denali National Park and our home for the next 8 nights. Our skilled bush pilot will take us down to a small lake nestled in a cleft between the Ruth and Tokositna Glaciers, where we will unload our packs on a small beach and wave the airplane goodbye. We’ll set up camp near the lake, bask in the new-found solitude, and then take a short afternoon hike. All Meals Included.

Days 3-6: We’ll spend the next 4 days doing a 30+ mile circuit. Our route will take us through gun sight passes, over open tundra benches, down spectacular creeks, and along big Alaska Range glaciers. By the afternoon of day 6, we’ll arrive back near the lake, and we’ll spend our last evening truly enjoying our final moments of solitude in Denali. All Meals Included.

Day 7: After a celebratory tundra blueberry pancake breakfast and coffee, our pilot will arrive at the lake by early afternoon. If you’re returning home from Anchorage this evening, please schedule home-bound flights for after 10pm. Breakfast and Lunch Included.
