Backpacking is an unforgettable way to experience Alaska’s vast and pristine tundra, whether you want to take photos, learn about the plants and wildlife, or simply enjoy the big skies and deep quiet. Alaska is rich in wildlife, and sightings may include caribou, moose, wolverine, wolves, marmot, arctic ground squirrel, pika, black bears, brown bears (grizzlies), and eagles.
All of our backpacking courses are customized to accommodate and build upon whatever backpacking and camping experience you already have. AMS instructors introduce you to the unique tundra ecosystem under foot, teaching essential wilderness skills to achieve safety and comfort in the backcountry. Backpacking courses begin in Talkeetna and access Denali National Park by road, bush plane, or helicopter.
