Mt McKinley, Denali National Park, Alaska, and the Plains of Murie

Denali National Park Trip

Guided backpacking and hiking trips in Denali National Park, Alaska.

It's all about 'the mountain', as the locals refer to Mt McKinley. Few folks in Alaska call this magnificent mountain anything other than Denali (it's native Athabascan name, meaning "the Great One") or more simply, 'the mountain'. Truly a breathtaking sight, nothing will mesmerize a lover of the outdoors more than hiking beneath Denali. Alaskan Alpine Treks guides backpacking trips here in Denali National Park that are an opportunity for solitude, great wildlife viewing and photography, majestic vistas and fantastic backcountry travel.

Over 20 000' high and easily the highest peak in Alaska, indeed in all of North America, Denali oversees our entire trip, whether shrouded in the clouds formed by it's own sheer bulk, or clear and visible hundreds of miles away on a beautiful Alaskan summer day. Such a powerful presence is Denali that we feel on edge for an entire backpacking trip, always alert for a glimpse of this natural wonder. Add this to wildlife so plentiful that the park is often referred to as "America's Serengetti", Denali NP is an absolutely amazing hiking trip. Denali is the premier place in the world to watch caribou, grizzly, wolves, moose, and Dall sheep, as well as an array of other creatures, such as golden eagles, wolverine, red fox, marmots and pikas, etc. Catch the park in all it's fall glory late August and early September, as the tundra puts on it's blazing show, turning a myriad of golds, yellows, and reds and every possible combination of these glowing colors. A week of backpacking in Denali NP is a lifetime of memory. Our experience and knowledge of the area helps participants best utilize their time here, and allows them to relax and enjoy 'The Great One'.
