Guided Hiking, Camping, & Backcountry Trips

Alaska guided hiking and camping trips take the guesswork out of picking your route or packing the right gear. These tours allow you to experience Alaska’s trails and backcountry regions firsthand without worrying about the logistics. Whatever the season, these active adventures can be customized to a variety of skill and comfort levels. If you’re looking for a day trip, tour operators lead guided hiking trips that depart right from communities across the state. The experienced, naturalist guides teach you about the area and help you make the most of your outdoor experience. 

If you’re looking for a bigger adventure, join a guided multi-day camping or backpacking trip. In summer or winter, Alaska’s backcountry guides can take you on multi-day expeditions to places few people get to experience. Hikes can be custom-planned to provide all levels of support — from basic camps to all-inclusive trips to remote cabins. Outfitters know the best spots for backpacking, wildlife viewing, and hiking, and will often arrange transportation to get you to your destination. They usually provide the necessary equipment, including tents, sleeping bags, and cooking gear, and often take care of meal planning and cooking.
