Take in the stunning views of Denali
Denali (formerly known as Mt McKinley) is an Athabascan word for “the Great One”. At 20,310 feet, it’s North America’s highest mountain and is technically taller than Everest if you measure it from base to summit. Waking up surrounded by these snow-covered peaks is a refreshing tonic for the soul. Whether you’re a keen mountaineer who wants to climb to the summit or you prefer to explore closer to the ground, you’ll never get bored of the views.
Explore Matanuska Glacier on foot
If you thought Denali was all about pretty views, think again. Put on a pair of snow boots and hike across the magnificent Matanuska Glacier. This is Alaska’s largest road-access glacier, but the beauty of exploring it on foot with our glacier expert means you’ll discover all the hidden nooks and crannies. We’re talking blue ice crevasses, spiky ice cliffs, giant ice blocks, natural ice sculptures and ice caves. Why not take your glacier game to the next level and try ice climbing?
Hike the Curry Ridge Trail
This 6.5-mile hiking trail is your golden ticket to explore the rolling Alaskan tundra. The trail gradually takes you above the tree line where you’ll have the best seats in the house. Enjoy panoramic views of Denali and the surrounding wilderness. Wildflowers line the trail in summer and you can forage for fresh edible berries. You might even spot bears and moose on your way up.
Relax in Chena Hot Springs
Taking time for self-care is important, even on an Alaskan adventure. Embrace the icy air for a few moments before slipping into the hot spring where you can exhale and unwind. A soak in this mineral-rich water will warm your cockles and rejuvenate you for another day of exploring. You could even treat yourself to a post-soak massage.
Kick back with the locals in Anchorage
Nestled at the base of the Chugach Mountains, Anchorage is Alaska’s largest city that feels more like a big and lively country town. Kick back with the locals in log fire pubs, sample your way through the breweries or try some of the best pizza in the USA (yup, it’s here in Alaska!). If you’re hungry for more outdoor adventures, there are plenty of hiking trails, lakes and camping spots in Chugach State Park. Anchorage is also close to some prime whale-watching spots.
See the magical northern lights
If you thought Denali was beautiful in the daylight, wait until you see it illuminated by a sky lit up with green, blue, purple and red lights. Alaska is one of the best places in the world to see the northern lights and our local guides know when and where you can see them. If the lights don’t fancy making an appearance, why not try your luck at stargazing with a warm flask of mulled wine or hot chocolate?
Wander around Wonder Lake
Wonder Lake will have you questioning if you’re still in Alaska or have somehow been transported into a Bob Ross painting. It’s so pristine that you might need to pinch your arm to remind yourself it’s actually real. The lake is covered with ice in winter, but on a clear spring or summer’s day you can see the reflection of Denali on the water. It’s the perfect spot for some deep breaths and pondering, or an epic icy dip for cold water enthusiasts.
Visit the Alaska Native Heritage Centre
Learning about Alaska's Indigenous peoples' diverse traditions, language and culture is essential to any trip. Listen to stories and watch Native dancing. Visit a Native dwelling to experience traditional ways of life for the Athabascan, Inupiaq/St. Lawrence Island Yupik, Yup'ik/Cup'ik, Aleut, Alutiiq, and the Eyak, Tlingit, Haida and Tsimshian peoples.
