Alaska vacation idea
Active Alaska: Glaciers, Seward & Denali
A 7-day active Alaska small-group trip with hiking near Seward and Denali, glacier scenery and time in the state’s wild interior.
Alaska with your boots on the ground
This active small-group trip is built for travelers who want to spend more time outside than sightseeing through a bus window. The route links Southcentral Alaska, Seward and Denali with challenging hikes, glacier scenery and long summer days in the wilderness.
It is intentionally more rugged than a standard escorted Alaska tour, with participation camping and rustic cabin stays mixed into the experience.
