Denali Park Nature Walk (3 Hours) w/Expert Naturalist
Description
Stroll leisurely through the forest of Denali National Park. As you walk, listen to your guide talk about the plants, animals, ecology, geology, and more that make Denali unique. Taste the bounty of edible berries that pepper Denali's forests. Your guide is a true expert. Not a mid-rate guide who knows a few fun facts. They're a Naturalist who's prepared to answer any question you throw at them. They're ready for wildlife encounters with bear spray and good training. They have a Wilderness First Responder certification, making them better prepared than an EMT for an emergency in the backcountry. See? I told you they were an expert. This is your chance to experience Alaska up close and personal. Your chance to feel the peat moss that so few do. Taste the elusive and legendary cloudberries. This is more than a walk. It's an all expenses paid teleportation into the inner workings of Denali National Park. OH! And we donate 5% to conservation. You're helping Denali by taking this tour!

Abby was wonderful! It was a lovely leisurely walk along the Riley Creek full of interesting facts about the incredible boreal forest and some yummy treats (berries & leaves) along the way! Definitely recommend for someone who wants to soak in and appreciate the land around them!
We had the most wonderful afternoon on our nature hike with Jade! He was fun and knowledgeable about our environment and all the nature around us!! We highly recommend this!!
Had a wonderful tour with Jade, he’s very knowledgeable and very personable. It ended up just being my husband and I on our own private tour. He’s great at spotting and explaining all the great plants in the forest, fantastic way to start our Denali visit.
Jade was an amazing guide. Full of knowledge and super pleasant to be with on this walk. The difficulty level was just as described. Enjoyed tasting many of the berries of Denali National Park and Preserve.
One of the best Denali adventures (among several great ones!) during our three day visit to the Park. Jade was extremely knowledgeable, accommodating, and overall the best of hosts over our three-hour walk that started near the park entrance. We would absolutely choose this option again. (Friends who chose an unguided walking tour on their own had a much less favorable experience.)
Exactly as advertised!! This was truly a leisurely stroll through the woods!! Beth stopped and shared tons of information with us about the park, the animals, and the plants we were seeing along the way. She is super personable and read the group to use appropriate humor etc. I learned so much!! Thanks Beth!!
Derrick was a patient and wonderful guide. We all appreciated his extensive knowledge of the area. We all learned so much.
I am so happy to hear you learned so much while out with Derek! Thank you for the kind review :)
Our guide (Spencer) was great. Took us on a good hike where there were no crowds or groups nearby. Great sites along the way and I enjoyed learning about the different plants and wildlife and just the overall area. Was exactly what I was looking for in this type of experience. Was very accommodating, I told Spencer that I had already hiked the original trail he planned to take us and he had other good hikes and adjusted the route.
So happy to hear you had a great time on trail with Spencer and were able to check out a new area! Thank you for the kind review, you rock!
Don was great learnt a lot about the flora and fauna of Denali National Park! Arctic tree squirrel habitat was amazing. Pretty flat terrain.
Yay for learning lots with Don! So glad you had a great time :)
Amazing experience with Abby in Denali! She was knowledgeable, friendly, passionate, and attentive. She made our hike truly special and unforgettable. Highly recommended!
Thank you for the review, you rock!
