Description
Join us on an exhilarating 2-day backcountry experience in the backcountry of Kenai Fjords National Park.
In the wilderness is where memories are made… Whether it’s the exhilarating rush as you look over the edge of a bottomless crevasse, the fresh mountain air that fills your lungs, or the sense of wonder gazing across the glaciated landscape.
In contrast to crowded tours in Alaska, our backcountry camps are comfortable, and limited to 5 guests per guide. Bottom line? A more intimate experience with everything from glaciers to amazing vistas.
Beyond the jaw-dropping scenery, your experienced and friendly guide will share stories, local history, glaciology, and answer any questions you have throughout the tour.
