Adventure of a life time!

Mary_P, Jun 2025

We did this adventure the beginning of June and there was still quite a bit of snow. Beautiful clear day...breathtaking views and amazing hike. Had to use snow shoes to get on glacier ..which was difficult at times...great cardio workout! Totally worth it in the end. Austin was the best! Knows the hike like the back of his hand and went above and beyond to make this the most memorable experience! Best place to get engaged!

A Truly Amazing Alaskan Experience

Catherine_K, Jun 2025

My husband and I had an amazing day trip with our tour guide Austin. This was truly a memorable experience we highly recommend. The hike is easy to moderate. We are in our 60s, in good health and had no problems with the hike or elevation. There was still snow on a small portion of our hike near the glacier so we put on snowshoes provided by our guide. The glacier is spectacular and so was the ride on the White Pass Railway. Austin, our tour guide, is a wonderful conversationalist and great company. He’s very knowledgeable, funny, a little nerdy like us and we had a great time. Well worth it!

Best Outdoor Adventure

Joshua_W, Jun 2025

This was such a fun adventure and totally worth going on! For this time of year, we got to hike up a beautiful rain forest and transition into snow shoes at the top! There is nothing like seeing the raw beauty of nature, from the gushing rivers that smooth out entire rock formations and the avalanches (from a distance) that tumbled from the mountain tops. Never did we feel like we were in any danger with our guide and he carried almost all the equipment too! I felt so alive on the hike, and I’d do the hike again with him regularly if I could.
