Husky Homestead Tour

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.

Do you like jaw-dropping views? A good workout? Learning about Denali? If you answered “no” to any of those questions, this tour isn’t for you. But if you answered yes… Ready? Leave the buses and boardwalks behind. Hike high into the Alaska Range. Feel the wind in your hair. As the views unfold, you can’t peel your eyes away. The rugged mountains rise around you like castles. The wide valleys stretch into the distance. The greens, reds, and blues of the tundra create a patchwork quilt unlike any other. Now pick your jaw back up! There’s more to see, and higher to go! Toil further up the steep ridge. Scramble over jagged rocks. Stroll through dips full of delicate wildflowers. Later in the season, enjoy the bounty of wild blueberries, lingonberries, currants, and more. So tell me - will you settle for the buses and boardwalks most people in Denali see? Or will you come with us and adventure into the Alaska Range, seeing views normally reserved for the Dall sheep? The choice is yours.

Stunning ridge lines and jaw-dropping views!

What are people saying about Denali National Park

Anonymous, May 2026

Fun right outside Denali

We had so much fun. Both Joel and Tim were so knowledgeable about everything. I would recommend this to everyone. It's amazing where these trucks can go. In rivers, up sides of mountains, in a pond and out on the ice. Joel also taught us some good photography tricks.

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.

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!

Don’t hesitate!! Book the side by side ATV tour! Our tour guides Andrew (from Prague) and Johnathan (from Florida) were consummate professionals - knowledgeable, entertaining, courteous. It snowed on the mountains the night before and flurried on us while on the glacier-carved river bed!! The lunch served was delicious with huge portions. Best thing we could have done all around!!

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.
