For the active traveler, a Denali Wilderness Hike with us is the perfect way to discover this amazing place.  This hike usually involves substantial elevation gain, getting you up to the big views above tree line. The trail is not steep or difficult, but a long, steady climb makes this trip fairly strenuous. For a less strenuous adventure go to the Byers Lake Nature Walks page.

Go to Reservations to book a trip or Contact Us to arrange a custom hike. Meet us at our Byers Lake office in the park, or arrange a free pickup at the Mt. McKinley Princess Lodge.

Our Denali Hiking Tours will offer views like this of Mt. McKinley and the Alaska Range.

"I enjoyed it immensely. First good hike I've had in Alaska and Joelle was an exemplary guide. Her sunny personality really brightened up our grey day." -Matt Soriano, New York, NY

"Excellent. Angie was a fantastic guide; knowledgeable, friendly, and fun." -Peggy Jyo

"I am writing to let you know how much we enjoyed our wilderness hike with one of your guides. He took my family and I on the Wilderness Hike on June 24 and it turns out we all agreed that it was one of the highlights of our 2-week trip. We appreciated the fact that he was so enthusiastic and engaging and that he allowed our hike to be challenging. The trail wasn't overly manicured so we felt like we had a true wilderness experience. So we send our thanks to our guide and to your organization for a great time." -Nicole Nortier
