Do you like jaw-dropping views? A good workout? Learning about Denali? If you answered “no” to any of those questions, this tour isn’t for you. But if you answered yes…
Ready? Leave the buses and boardwalks behind. Hike high into the Alaska Range. Feel the wind in your hair. As the views unfold, you can’t peel your eyes away. The rugged mountains rise around you like castles. The wide valleys stretch into the distance. The greens, reds, and blues of the tundra create a patchwork quilt unlike any other.
Now pick your jaw back up! There’s more to see, and higher to go! Toil further up the steep ridge. Scramble over jagged rocks. Stroll through dips full of delicate wildflowers. Later in the season, enjoy the bounty of wild blueberries, lingonberries, currants, and more.
So tell me - will you settle for the buses and boardwalks most people in Denali see? Or will you come with us and adventure into the Alaska Range, seeing views normally reserved for the Dall sheep? The choice is yours.
- Not recommended for travelers who cannot hike uphill for 3 hours or more.

Northern Epic Did Not Disappointed - We went on a five hour guided hike. We were really blown away by the level of professionalism and educational knowledge that Jordan, our guide, was able to provide. He knew so much about the local environment, the culture, plants, trees, shrubs and even fungus. He was also able to tell us much of the history of Denali park. We were able to hike from just above the river all the way above the tree line and see great views of the surrounding area. We were also very impressed by the level of education the guides receive in the way of safety and field medicine. You never want to use those skills, but it is invaluable that your guides have them. We would definitely recommend Northern Epic to anyone wanting an “off the beaten path” small group individualized hike.

Don't miss this experience in Alaska - My husband and I had an absolutely amazing hiking tour in Denali National Park! The day of our tour, it ended up being just the two of us, but the tour wasn't canceled, and we were so grateful for that. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, sharing fascinating details about the park's history, wildlife, and landscape. The fall colors were in full bloom, painting the mountains with vibrant shades of red, orange, and gold – it was breathtaking! It felt like we had the entire park to ourselves, and the beauty of the scenery made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend this tour!

Definitely worth it! - TripAdvisor Review
We were picked up at our hotel parking lot and headed to another hotel parking lot to begin our hike up Sugar Loaf. I thought there would be a nice warmup, but this hike began with an incline almost immediately. Eventually, as we hiked through the wooded areas, we reached a gravel and rock area with a little technical climbing and high winds (though Alaskans will consider this “light winds”). Although strenuous and tricky at points, we were actually lucky to have a great hiking group that wanted to go all the way to the top. We went for it, and it did not disappoint. As we climbed up, it became more and more breath-taking, figuratively and literally.
Jason, our guide, was excellent and recognized almost all the plants that we encountered along the way: berries, mushrooms, trees, etc, even picking some and offering the ones that were safe to eat. He also brought extra water, trekking poles, and gloves in case you need them, which I did need. Lastly, if you need recommendations for food or other things to do throughout Alaska, he was very knowledgeable about that too!
Remember: slow is safe and safe is fast, so be careful, don’t rush, and enjoy the views!

An excellent trip - I haven’t ever eaten more wild foliage than I did on this trip, an absolute rural plate must. Jason, our guide, was seemingly bottomless well of botany knowledge, and it’s hard to say what was more plentiful—the foliage, or Jason’s knowledge of the foliage. A breathtaking, edge-of-your- seat tromp majeure. I would highly recommend for the recreational hiker and the edible-plant curious. Skip this experience at your own peril.

A great and memorable time - We joined as a family of 4 and we all had such a great time. Derek was such a good guide. He made sure we all moved as a group safely. The view at the top was so rewarding. Derek was full of information about the plants, wildlife, and landscape. We had a very memorable time.
