Travel the entire length of the stunningly scenic Denali Highway.

 

This trip traverses the south side of the Alaska Range from Cantwell to Paxson. Unparalleled mountain views and geological phenomenons abound on this unique and wild tour. Travel through thick boreal forest and across open tundra down to the powerful Susitna River and up into the Maclaren plateau where the trail curves over giant moraines left behind by the last glacial period. We will climb windswept Maclaren Summit and travel through the Tangle Lakes region, an archaeologically significant site. The route follows the ancient hunting routes of Pleistocene era tribes through the Landmark Gap region. With the exception of a few remote lodges, the tundra is free from development and it feels as though the mammoths that used to roam this area could step out from a mountain valley at any moment. Ptarmigan abound, especially on the Maclaren side of the road and the dogs surge forward when they catch scent of the white birds. Join us on a traverse through ancient landscapes by an equally timeless mode of transportation — dog sled.
