About Alaska Alpine Adventures
Alaska Alpine Adventures is a boutique wilderness expedition company specialising in multi-day backpacking, rafting, and basecamp adventures deep in Alaska's most remote national parks and preserves. Based in Anchorage, the company was founded by lifelong Alaskans who grew up exploring the state's backcountry and wanted to share those hidden corners with adventurous travellers. Their trips venture into areas like the Gates of the Arctic, Lake Clark, Wrangell-St. Elias, and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge — places with no roads, no trails, and no crowds.
Trip formats include guided backpacking expeditions ranging from four to twelve days, float trips on wild Arctic rivers, basecamp adventures where a bush plane drops your group at a remote lake or gravel bar, and custom itineraries for private groups. All trips are fully outfitted — tents, cook gear, bear canisters, satellite communication, and bush plane logistics are included. Participants need only bring personal clothing and a sleeping bag. Group sizes are kept deliberately small, usually four to eight guests, to minimise environmental impact and maximise the quality of the wilderness experience.
What makes Alaska Alpine Adventures exceptional is their focus on genuinely wild, roadless Alaska rather than the tourist-circuit highlights. Their guides are not just outdoorspeople — they are naturalists, wildlife biologists, and backcountry veterans who turn every trip into an immersive education in Arctic and sub-Arctic ecology. For experienced hikers and paddlers who have outgrown the guided-hike-from-the-lodge model and want true expedition-style wilderness travel, Alaska Alpine Adventures offers some of the most authentic backcountry experiences available in North America.
