Stroll leisurely through the forest of Denali National Park. As you walk, listen to your guide talk about the plants, animals, ecology, geology, and more that make Denali unique.

They're a Naturalist who's prepared to answer any question you throw at them. They're ready for wildlife encounters with bear spray and good training. They have a Wilderness First Responder certification, making them better prepared than an EMT for an emergency in the backcountry. See? I told you they were an expert. This is your chance to experience Alaska up close and personal. Your chance to feel the peat moss that so few do. Taste the elusive and legendary cloudberries. This is more than a walk. It's an all expenses paid teleportation into the inner workings of Denali National Park. OH! And we donate 5% to conservation. You're helping Denali by taking this tour!

Denali Highway Jeep Excursion

This tour is strenuous due to climbing/hiking uphill in elevation, unimproved trails and off-trail hiking. It is designed for the more fit travelers. While still a narrated tour, the interpretive hike covers more ground, and explores the sub-alpine and alpine tundra as well as glacial topology in depth. The extra time on the ground gives the group a chance to see the forested area near the Nenana river, the brushy but wildlife rich sub-alpine tundra, and the gorgeous views and highly adapted vegetation of the taiga. Expect to cover 4-6 miles and climb up 1500-1800' in elevation. *Note, this tour often operates in areas just outside the National Park so we may explore the mountains off-trail and utilize locations that are more remote and have a wider variety of terrain to explore. We can drop you off at the train depot in time for the 12:30pm train departure.

So much fun!

My best friend and I went together and had a great time. It is a few hours of fun and the staff was really nice, they all seem to LOVE their jobs. The experience lasts a few hours and the rapids weren’t as crazy as I expected them to be. This was so much fun and we would definitely do it again.

2.5-Hour Denali Wilderness ATV Adventure Tour

Unforgettable Denali Adventure – Scenic, Rugged, and So Much Fun!

We did this ATV tour in the Denali area with my husband and another couple, and it was amazing to say the least! From start to finish, the customer service was excellent. The shuttle picked us up and brought us to the ATV site, where we went through a safety briefing. Before heading out, the guides ensured everyone was comfortable operating the ATVs on a small practice course. Once the ride began, the real adventure started—it was bumpy, rugged, and everything I imagined Alaska to be. The guides were fantastic: courteous, safety-conscious, and very engaging. They kept us informed about the surroundings and made the whole experience fun and safe. The trail took us up to a higher area with breathtaking mountain views, then down into a riverbed where we saw a mountain that once housed a glacier in the background. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Riding through the riverbed was a highlight—the water was active and we even got to go through some deeper spots. The ATVs handled it perfectly, and we felt lucky since the guides mentioned the water isn’t always low enough to cross. Midway through, it got a little rough for me based on my skill level, and the guides immediately accommodated me by switching me into a side-by-side vehicle so I could continue comfortably. That level of attentiveness really stood out. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience that every one of us enjoyed. The combination of adventure, scenery, and great guides makes this tour a must-do if you’re in Denali!

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.

Denali Photo Excursion

Tracey_B, Aug 2025

Amazing

‘Amazing’ was the word of the day. There were 4 people on the trip with Josh, the guide. We’d take photos based on his advice then share our snaps with each other. Saw a swan take flight from a reflective pool with the mountains in the background… amazing. Backlit Denali… amazing. Alaska scenery… amazing. We shot with our iPhone 13 and 16, the other party had an iPhone and a Canon dslr… Josh was well versed in getting the most out of each. A great experience!

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.
