Great hike and great guide - Great hiking trip. Jason was super knowledgeable about the environment and all things on the hike. He was comfortable and fun to hike with and made sure we accomplished all that we wanted to see and do. Thank you Jason!

Amazing views - Our guides were great! Jordan and Derek were cognizant of our abilities and had a trail with a nice climb with amazing views planned for us. The mountains are spectacular and we loved the time with them. We also learned some about the local flora and geology. We highly enjoyed our hike and would call them again if we get back to the Denali area.

An experience of a lifetime - The name doesn't do this experience justice. We had the pleasure of experiencing Denali with Jason and Trinidad. We learned so much from both of them as we made our way through the forest and then above the treeline for some breathtaking views. We ate spruce tips and berries along the way and learned about the eco system in an engaging and enjoyable way. By the end of your time with them we felt like we were hiking with two of our friends simply enjoying the company and the beauty of Denali. If you want to really experience Denali and learn about the environment this is a must do. And you'll have some fun as well. The art of the pun was worked in to the entire day, from having a gneiss day to really lichen Jason and Trinidad.

A perfect hike! - This hike is a “must do” if you’re traveling to Denali! We were initially overwhelmed trying to figure out how to tackle a hiking trip in such a vast area. But, Trinidad, our guide, was so friendly and knowledgeable about the area, he really made the experience perfect. He understands a lot about the plants, wildlife and geology of Denali and was able to answer our many questions. His pacing on our challenging hike was perfect and he navigated us to some amazing views that were definitely worth the effort. I would highly recommend you book this hike!
