    Trip could not have been any better!
  2. Reviewer: Alex V located in VA
    Amazing trip as someone who visited Alaska on a tour with my family 10+ years ago. I chose this trip because I wanted to hike into the wilds of Alaska and see what we saw and of course take pictures. This trip will not disappoint if that is your motive. Make sure you are fit if you are >40!
  3. Reviewer: Andey Seeger located in Marl, Germany
    The Skolai Trip was more than a memorable experience. Hiking, backpacking, camping and photography out there are, compared to other offers, affordable and well organized. A great compliment to our guide Carl, in whom we found a companion for upcoming new adventures.

  • Reviewer: Mark Van Bergh located in Washington, D.C. USA
    "The camping arrangements were first class, including great food. It was great to travel with Carl again. It was a great group of people that is so important to making a trip like that as successful as possible. I don't know if that was by chance, or if Carl specifically picked people to participate in the trip from those who expressed interest, but however it was done it worked out. Special kudos to Jule for the wonderful meals she prepared."
  • Reviewer: Chuck Pergler located in N.M USA
    "It exceeded my expectations. It was one of the more Zen-like experiences, which I will relish the rest of my life. Every individual added positively to the group experience. Highlights? ... Walking in peace over the glacier. listening to footfalls and the silence in-between. gray scale landscape providing a cacophony of mental color."
  • Reviewer: Russell Jacobs located in Pasadena, CA USA
    "Carl was always prepared for both the mundane (setting up a comfortable camp and cooking meals) and the more exciting (photographing grizzlies in the wild and scrambling upon glaciers). I was especially impressed with his facility in dealing with divergent abilities and attitudes. My trip was professionally run in terms of preparedness, safety, and respect for the wilderness; and one helluva lot of fun."

Door to door service. We pick you up from your hotel in Anchorage and depart for rustic McCarthy, Alaska. We overnight there in a private lodge, before taking an amazing bush flight in to the heart of the park and Skolai Pass .

From there we backpack through Chitistone Pass, the Chitistone Canyon, stopping along the way to see Russell Glacier, Hole in the Wall and a host of other interesting sights.

Our final destination is Wolverine, a high alpine ridge overlooking the Chitistone River. We fly back to McCarthy, overnight again and then the drive back to Anchorage the final day. We drop you at your hotel in Anchorage approximately 6pm.
