Alaska Hiking Adventures
Denali Trekking Company offers three levels of intensity, as outlined
below, for exploring some of Alaska's most magnificent alpine backcountry.
Every one of our trips begins with an orientation at our home and base
of operations. We go over everyone's equipment and discuss our policies
of "No Trace Camping", safety in the field, bear encounter procedures,
etc. Questions are encouraged and none left unanswered. You'll get acquainted
with your guide and he'll work with you in preparing for the trip. After
packing, we head to the lake and fly out to one of our destination
lakes sitting high in the
mountains, well above timberline. Tents are pitched, camp arranged and
a quick romp to the nearest viewing knob start day one of your adventure.
There is a brief description of each
of the treks we offer below. For a detailed itinerary please click on

Five Day Trip:
|
“Out of the Wild” Wilderness Trek |
Cost $1950.00 |
 Join us for an incredible walk through sometimes hostile wilderness where Discovery Channel selected for their series “Out of the Wild, Surviving Alaska” to take place. Billy FitzGerald was hired by Discovery Channel to act as a consultant for the contestants during the filming of this epic adventure.
This segment of the route they traveled hosts some of the best hiking possibilities you can find in Alaska. There are extraordinary wildlife viewing opportunities including gigantic brown bears, magnificent grizzly’s and the mighty bull moose. Caribou range throughout the area, Dall sheep rams peer down from lofty heights of the surrounding peaks and black bears are seen combing the hills in August for the rich crop of blueberries. There are known wolf dens here and at least one is currently active with several new month-old pups that I saw while flying May 1st this year.
We have six scheduled outings for the summer of 2009. Group size is a maximum of four.
Custom arrangements are possible.
Trip start dates this summer are:
June 29th, July 13th, July 20th, July 27th, August 17th, August 24th.

This trip is the quintessential Alaskan Backcountry Adventure! It is designed and catered to the self-propelled adventurer.
You'll hike through 25 to 35 miles of alpine tundra and traverse
some of the most spectacular country in wild Alaska. All of
these treks are in very remote country where the only trail
is the one you just made.
At the end of this trip you'll be
rewarded with the pride of accomplishment, a renewed appreciation
for our natural world and certainly, lasting impressions of
excitement, beauty and newly formed friendships.

Geared for folks who may be pressed for time but still desire
a challenging adventure, this trip offers a rich taste of
mountain hiking.
Opportunities are plentiful for getting excellent
landscape photographs as well as seeing a variety of wildlife,
tundra nesting birds and capturing that elusive "once-in-a-lifetime"
frame.
Walking in the tundra and exploring with keen eyes
will reveal a rich and exciting habitat. This trip can also
be designed to combine a base camp style with a possible condensed
cross-country traverse to end the trip with a pick up at a
different lake.

Our three day hiking trips are designed for folks that desire
creature comforts in the wilderness while they explore the
mountains and tundra that surround them.
We fly into the mountains,
set up a base camp and each morning leave camp traveling light,
carrying only water bottle, extra clothes, camera, and binoculars.
A lot of country can be observed but you will see how much
can be absorbed by a slow walk.
The alpine tundra is fascinating;
views from the high country are nothing short of spectacular.
This trip is an excellent choice for families with younger
kids or hikers coupling their excursion to Alaska with another
adventure.
