About K'esugi Ride Multiday Backpacking Tour

Book Direct with the Owner at K'esugi Ride Multiday Backpacking Tour with Accommodation Ohio in Anchorage, for all your Attraction and travel needs.

Itinerary

We will be traveling 29.2 miles from Little Coal trailhead to Byerâ€™s Lake with additional mileage for securing campsites and any extra day trips we pursue. The ridge parallels both the Chitina River and Alaska range where North Americaâ€™s highest peak, Mt. Denali, stands at a massive 20,146 feet. Many others in our state agree it is one of the best locations for witnessing the breathtaking pinnacle. It goes without saying there is plenty of opportunity for stunning photography, wildlife viewing, and boundless exploration.

We can provide a map of the route upon request. Be sure to read the inclusion and exclusion list, as well as any additional requirements before booking your tour. Please get a hold of us with any questions you may have.

I went on the 5 Day K'esugi Ridge tour and it was amazing! It is definitely not for the faint of heart, but it was an incredible experience. My guide was super-knowledgeable about hiking, camping, the local flora and fauna, and he was even able to accommodate my vegan diet for all of that time. I would definitely recommend Go Hike Alaska for an exciting adventure!
