Hiking Denali backcountyy - Heli-hiking the most beautiful country ever, with possibly the most informed naturalist EVER! Ottmers knows his stuff, but more importantly he makes YOU excited to learn all you can! His passion for Alaska is obvious and infectious… Got to do this remarkable hike with family and a special friend which made this truly a magical experience. My advice to anyone considering this trip: DO IT!!!! Your soul will thank you.💖

Hiking in the wilderness - Our guide was Eric and he was absolutely fantastic! Our family of 5 told him we wanted something unique and adventurous and he delivered. He took us on a lightly traveled trail that really made us feel like we were in the wilderness, he identified all the flowers we encountered, and he taught us to interpret Arctic ground squirrel calls. Our hike with him was a highlight of our trip.

Hiking with an experienced Naturalist - Beautiful surroundings. Confident guide with vast experience. Opportunities to engage with nature. Our guide, Alex made us feel comfortable and confident with the possibility of encountering wildlife. We came upon a mother moose with her young and it was an amazing experience. Our guide was such a wealth of information and shared a lot of interesting insights about the plants and animals in the area.
