Alaska attracts visitors from all over the world who come to see and experience the diversity and vastness of our magnificent state

No where else in Alaska can you so easily access an immense alpine glacier. In Kennecott you will be fitted for crampons (spikes strapped on the bottom of your boots for traction while exploring the ice of the Root Glacier). The first mile and a half follows an old wagon road, and we stop several times

along the way to discuss glaciology and geology, and view 16,390 ft. Mt. Blackburn. At the glacier we strap on our crampons and with simple instruction and practice; you'll feel secure walking on the ice. Numerous glacial streams cut deep ravines in the ice and form shimmering azure blue pools. As the ice gives way to the melting water, incredible waterfalls cascade deep into the glacier.

Adventurers of ALL ages and abilities have joined us on this hike, from elderly visitors with NO hiking experience, to intrepid trekkers.

We leave Kennecott at 9:30 am and return in the early afternoon, with no set schedule, so we may walk leisurely during the day.
