What To Expect
We will take you to the wintry wonderland of the Glen Alps just east of Anchorage where a colossal, glaciated valley awaits. After a quick introduction, or refresher, to the elements of snowshoeing, we will hit the snow-packed trail and head to South Fork Campbell Creek, draining through the heart of the valley.
After crossing the creek, we will drift in between hemlock forests and snow-covered alpine meadows, pausing to take photos of magnificent sights. We will take note of the tracks we see, and seek out wildlife like moose, snowshoe hare, and birds. Several peaks dominate the landscape for our viewing pleasure and camera lenses. This tour is an awe-inspiring, breathtaking, and thrilling experience for the adventurous soul.

I had an absolutely amazing time on the snowshoeing adventure! Matt was a lot of fun, knew a lot about the area, and wanted to make sure we were all having as much fun as he was! I would definitely do this again and plan to do some of his summer activities when I’m back in Alaska!
This was a great...
