Itinerary
For those drawn to wild horizons and exhilarating hikes, "Hike Alaska: Glaciers and Denali" offers seven days of challenging adventure through some of North America’s most awe-inspiring landscapes. Starting and ending in Anchorage, you’ll trek through Denali National Park, ascend the dramatic Harding Icefield, and wander the forests around Seward. Experience the thrill of alpine vistas, savor fresh local salmon, and absorb the untamed beauty that defines the Last Frontier. This tour’s standout feature is its active pace and access to Alaska’s remote gems—ideal for young adults and experienced travelers seeking a true wilderness escape.
day 1 - Anchorage/Seward
After a brief welcome meeting with your CEO, travel towards Seward this morning with a stop at Alyeska Ski Resort in Girdwood for a rewarding hike on the North Face Trail. Climb over 2000 ft elevation up the north face of Mt Alyeska to expansive views of Turnagain Arm, the Girdwood Valley, the surrounding glaciers, and the towering peaks of the Chugach Range. Keep a look out for wildlife along the trail before reaching the Mt Alyeska gondola for an enjoyable descent back to the valley.
Afterwards, the group will transfer to the accommodations in Seward along Resurrection Bay. In the evening, enjoy dinner together around the campfire.
day 2 - Seward
After a camp breakfast, spend the Day hiking the Harding Icefield Trail. This spectacular 7.4 mile trail begins on the valley floor and then winds through cottonwood and alder forests, heather filled meadows, and climbs above the tree line for a breathtaking view of the Icefield. It will take 6-8 hours to complete and offers plenty of impressive views along the way to keep you going.
day 3 - Seward
Today is all about Seward. After breakfast, how the Day will go is up to you. The morning will consist of a challenging hike up Mount Marathon or free time in town to do as you please if you aren’t in the mood for this hike.
In the afternoon, enjoy free time to find a lunch spot in Seward and then opt to walk around the waterfront of downtown, visit the Alaska Sealife Center, watch for otters playing in the water, or rent a kayak and explore Resurrection Bay.
day 4 - Seward/Denali National Park and Preserve
Travel to Denali National Park with the group in the morning. Along the way make a stop to hike the Talkeetna Lake Trail through lush old-growth forest. Search for wildlife in one of the area's most beautiful settings.
