Or will you come with us and adventure into the Alaska Range, seeing views normally reserved for the Dall sheep? The choice is yours.

Fun ride! And shoutout to my lead guide Jacob, who was helpful instructing and giving me tips on ATV riding! Weather was great. A few fun sightseeing stops at overlook points. Accompanied by interesting stories. The highlight of my Alaska trip so far!!!

3 Hour SHERP Tour: Denali Fat Truck Tours

Stephanie_J, May 2026

Great Fun, Leave the Driving to the Experts!

The Fat Truck Tire Excursion was a really good time. We were able to enjoy an adventure that was safe, well run and informative. The expert guides were awesome people who shared so much about the land and Denali. If you’re worried about being too old for the excursion. Don’t be. There was a 91 year old woman on the fat truck having a good time along with us. Sign up, it’s a good old time, well worth it!

Horse-Drawn Covered Wagon Ride with Backcountry Dining

Christine_W, May 2026

Definitely worth it!

We had an amazing covered wagon experience and would highly recommend it! Ryan was an excellent guide — very knowledgeable, friendly, and shared so much interesting information throughout the trip. Lauren did a fantastic job driving the wagon and caring for the two beautiful horses, King and Duke. It was clear the horses were very well taken care of. The dinner location was secluded and the meal itself was excellent break in the middle of tour. Overall, this was a memorable experience.

Adventure awaits!

Fun very small group. We were out on the trails for over 2 hours traversing rocky terrain, water crossings and mud holes. We had a blast! Our group leader Caleb was very attentive and knowledgeable. The dinner provided was just what we needed on a cold evening touring Denali. Thanks for making such a memorable experience for our vacation.

Denali Peak Sightseeing by Plane

Randolph_H, May 2026

Denali Air is a great experience.

While the weather looked iffy we took off (8 passengers plus pilot) as we flew towards Denali we got above the clouds and the sites were awesome. Our pilot was the best and took us around mountain peaks and tremendous glaciers below. While the peak of Denali remained hidden in the clouds everything else was breath taking. This was a great experience and highly recommend.

I recently went on a...

I recently went on a guided hike in Denali National Park with Northern Epic, and it was truly the highlight of our entire trip. Our guide, Jade, was absolutely outstanding. From the very beginning, his deep knowledge of the park’s landscape, wildlife, and history shone through. What made the experience even more remarkable was his extensive background as an outdoor survivalist his expertise made us feel not only safe but also enriched by every moment on the trail. He had a way of bringing the wilderness to life, pointing out details we never would have noticed on our own, and weaving them into fascinating stories and insights. His passion for the outdoors was contagious, and it transformed what could have been just a scenic hike into a truly immersive adventure. If you are planning a trip to Denali, I cannot recommend Northern Epic and especially Jade highly enough. This wasn’t just a hike; it was an unforgettable experience that gave us a deeper appreciation for the wild beauty of Alaska. Jade made our adventure both educational and inspiring, and we walked away with memories we’ll treasure forever.

The whole experience was great. Dan & Nick were our van drivers, leaders, navigators, hosts and narrators. They did a great job balancing safety and fun for us. The jeeps were much nicer than we expected; clean, worked well, included a bottled water for each of us and very high quality binoculars. Pick up from & return to our resort was smooth & effortless.

Our guide was excellent—friendly and safety-focused. We stopped at four incredible vantage points including a dry creek bed, forested trails, and high valley overlooks with stunning views of the Alaska Range. The terrain was a fantastic mix of hills, mud, rocks and open scenic stretches. Highly recommend this for scenic value, fun pace, and great staff.
