Alaska Alpine Adventures has been operating backpacking, hiking, rafting, kayaking, mountaineering and multi-sport adventures in Alaska since 1999.
We have built a reputation as Alaska’s premier small-group wilderness guiding company. Exploring Alaska’s national parks and wildlife refuges is our passion and that passion is reflected in each expedition we lead.
Why do so many of our guests return year after year to continue to explore Alaska with us? We like to think that it’s our award-winning, all-inclusive itineraries, our impeccable safety record, our gourmet backcountry cuisine, our seasoned naturalist guides, and our commitment to sustainable travel and environmental excellence. But the answer is far more personal! Our guests are drawn by the magnetism of a northern wilderness and its creatures. They revisit to savor the palpable emotion of solitude, and to immerse themselves in something that few are fortunate enough experience – pure and untouched wilderness. In many ways, our clients return to Alaska to find themselves.
All or our lead guides are medically trained as Wilderness First Responders (at a minimum) and most are Alaska residents. They are all qualified naturalists and some have advanced degrees in biology our outdoor studies. Furthermore our lead guides have years of Alaska guiding experience and are all competent in all modes of Alaska wilderness travel. Furthermore our river guides are trained as Swift Water Rescue Technicians.
Our trips happen in some of the most spectacular places on earth. One of the greatest thrills for our guests is the aviation component of our adventures. 90% of our trips require a flight in a small aircraft and some trip require two or more flights. Landing on a gravel bar in the middle of a river or in a floatplane on a remote lake provides a level of adventure not commonly seen in the rest of the US. Simply stated, Alaska itself delivers adventure.
We also bring adventure to our menu. Even on a 10-day backpacking trip in Lake Clark NP, our guests will enjoy Pad Thai, a savory lasagna, kaang curry, pasta putanesca, wild berry pancakes, bagels & fresh lox, roasted garlic and brie with bruschetta, and home baked deserts. Our meals are culinary adventures of their own.
