Alaska Backcountry with Yak Support Testimonials

Our Alaskan Yak Tours were honored by Outside Magazine as Trip of The Year!

It was awesome. Joe and little Joe were awesome.

Outstanding trip, in spite of the weather. Good selection in Joe as the guide. He kept us fed and tuned the hiking to weather and our capabilities. Greatly appreciate Todd’s support for the trip. If you do a filtering on the applicants, you did a great job on our trip.

Simply the trip was amazing. Love the rain, love the cold mornings and hot chocolate. Love the hike and the company. Loved the isolation. The logistics were great. I hope to find another trek in your portfolio to do. THANKS!
