Trail time well spent!
Yesterday, we partnered with the Mat-Su Borough for a volunteer trail maintenance day in Talkeetna Lakes Park. We trimmed brush, picked up trash, and grubbed roots out of the tread with the awesome SCA trail crew.

These folks are out there all summer keeping our trails safe and beautiful—if you see them, be sure to thank them (and maybe even feed them)!

We love giving back to the places we guide in.

⚒️ 💪Yesterday at Byers Lake, our team traded hiking boots for work gloves and wheelbarrows! We spent the day repairing sections of the Byers Lake Trail washed out by last fall’s flooding, trimming back overgrowth, and picking up litter along our two miles of adopted highway near the trailhead. ♻️⁠

While we worked, we were lucky enough to spot a pair of pectoral sandpipers—just one of many reminders of why we do this work. 🌿🪶⁠

We don’t just say we’re an eco-conscious company—we walk the walk (literally)! Thanks to our hardworking guides, the trail is ready just in time for our guided Nature Walks at Byers Lake, which kick off TODAY!

Come explore, learn, and connect with this beautiful landscape alongside our team. We can’t wait to share it with you. 🌲💚

Ascend the high ridges of Denali State Park and soak in breathtaking views of the Alaska Range, and on a clear day, see Denali itself! 🏔️

🌄Pictured: Guests enjoying the stunning scenery on their descent from Curry Ridge. In the backdrop: the mighty Ruth Glacier, a massive river of ice flowing through the "Great Gorge," one of the deepest gorges in the world—even deeper than the Grand Canyon!

🌱 Spring has officially sprung in Talkeetna, Alaska — and one of the first, most thrilling signs is here: the fiddlehead fern! These tightly coiled wonders are beginning to unfurl across the forest floor, and locals know they’ll be ready to forage and feast on in no time. In fact, with Alaska's wild seasonal shifts, this moment of spring will pass in a blink — our growing season is short, intense, and absolutely magical. 🌞🌿

Fiddleheads aren’t just a beautiful sign of rebirth — they’re also delicious! Sautéed with garlic and butter, tossed into pastas, pickled, or served with wild-caught salmon, they’re a true taste of the northern forest.

Whether you’re here to hike, forage, or simply marvel at nature’s transformation, now is the time.

⛰️ Denali, the tallest peak in North America at 20,310 feet, draws about 1,000 climbers to its icy slopes every summer. From late April to mid-July, climbing season is in full swing.

While mountaineers tackle the summit, you can witness the grandeur from a unique vantage point on our Denali Wilderness Hike. Our guided hikes in Denali State Park lead you to ridgelines and high points where, on a clear day, Denali dominates the horizon. This legendary mountain is a view you won't forget. 🌤️✨

Climb above the treeline and step into a whole new world. 🌿⛰️ On clear days, the views from Curry Ridge in Denali State Park stretch all the way to Denali itself—North America's tallest peak—framed by wild tundra and sweeping sky. Along the way, our naturalist guides help you connect with the landscape, from alpine wildflowers to glacial geology.🪻🪨

This is wilderness hiking at its finest—wild, quiet, and deeply rewarding. ✨

Ever seen a river that looks like it's braided? You're probably looking at the work of glaciers in action! 🏔️

📍Denali State Park offers epic views of the Chulitna River, a glacially-fed beauty that weaves across the landscape in ever-changing patterns.

💧 In summer, melting glaciers grind away at bedrock and send super-fine sediment—aka glacial silt—rushing downstream. When the flow slows down, the silt settles and splits the river into multiple twisting channels. That’s how we get those mesmerizing braided rivers!

🖼️ It’s nature’s art in motion—shaped by rock, ice, water, and time.
