Towering species such as white spruces, paper birches, and aspens drape the frozen ground below.

This was just more confirmation that Alaska is God’s country. Magnificent hike, sights and beauty all around.
My guide was extremely personable, attentive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all things Alaska. She took time out to point out the plethora of foraging options even under a blanket of snow.

What a beautiful snowy trail to the frozen falls! Our guide Matt was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable & made our time a lot of fun! The falls were beautifully frozen over with water flowing through the ice. We were able to also walk through the woods, to the frozen river, where the Mountain views were amazing.Highly recommend Matt and his team for hiking tours when in Alaska!

If you want to get out there but only have half a day, then this tour is perfect! Matt and Greg are a wealth of knowledge regarding the area, plants, and animals. We extended our hike to see a bit more - the frozen waterfall and scenery were just beautiful and we had a great time. We're looking forward to taking another, longer day tour with this company this summer. Thank you Matt!
