We are the local experts on this vast wilderness and love to share it with our guests!<br><br>Our one-day adventures and overnight trips are popular with folks traveling around Alaska who want to get “off the beaten pathâ€. Our glacier hikes are a highlight of any Alaska trip (or so we’ve been told over and over again) and if you’re feeling a little more adventurous you can even try your hand at ice climbing!<br><br>If you have a little more time and want to really get out in the wilderness, we recommend that you join us for a multi-day base-camp trip or backpacking adventure. These are fully outfitted and led by some of the best guides in the industry, not only professionals, but a whole lot of fun as well!<br><br>If you’re not quite up for all that hiking, you can join us for a wilderness river adventure. These are “luxury†trips – we cook three course meals and bring along just about all the comforts of home!<br><br>Finally, if you are an experienced climber or an aspiring one, we offer a variety of mountaineering courses and expeditions in the remote and spectacular Wrangell, St. Elias and Chugach Mountains. We even offer a first-ascents program, where you can be the first one to stand on top of a peak rising from the Bagley Icefield!<br><br>Whether you are an individual, family or group of friends, please call us and I know we can put together a great trip for you!
