Basecamp Trips

Stunning and dramatic terrain with hanging glaciers, icefields, glacier hiking, ridge walks, alpine lakes, moderate scramble summits. A classic Alaskan valley and ridge-line for moderate backpacking and exploration.

Alpine Alaskan lakes nestled amid rolling tundra and easier terrain make it a more laid back choice - also a great family spot. Usually done as a base camp or hybrid trip with some backpacking and some day hiking. Enjoy the fantastic scenery with more moderate hiking.

Ideal for folks with no backpacking experience as we usually set a base camp and do some day hikes on the Fan Glacier and alpine ridges with stunning views. This area of Alaska gets little snow making it a great early season hiking destination.

One of the most popular spots in the park due to the dramatic peaks, hanging glaciers and great Alaska wildlife spotting including Dahl sheep and caribou. Backpacking, base camp and loop style trips are possible. This is a classic Alaskan pass.

Enjoy deep wilderness adventure without heavy backpacking loads. On this base-camp style trip near the shores of Turquoise Lake the focus is on day hikes that can be as mellow or adventurous as you want.

Perched on the knees of Mt. Wrangell, this spot offers stunning views of the mountain. The amazing scenery is matched with easy hiking terrain making this an excellent spot for an easy-going basecamp trip in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park.

This summer we are offering a females only trek in Wrangell-St. Elias. Past trips have been a big success and this year should be another great one. Guide Anna Nordin will be leading the way on the Allies Alpine route.
