Day Hikes, Heli-hiking, Glacier Hiking & National Park Trails

If you like to get outdoors and travel on foot, hiking in Alaska will win you first prize for the “best scenic hiking trip.” With mountain and glacier vistas, wildflowers galore, wildlife encounters, and the majesty and mystery which makes this destination genuinely unique, hiking in Alaska is more exciting – we guarantee it! Day hikes can transport you into the dramatic wilderness just outside one of Alaska’s cities in 15 or 20 minutes. Longer guided Alaska hiking trips give you an extended visit deep into Alaska’s National Parks, and backpackers have long put Alaska on the top of their lists.
