Hike Alaska: Valdez & Wrangell St Elias

Start & end in Anchorage 7 days Up to 13

About this trip

Seven days in Alaska built around walking on ice and through the kind of scenery that stops you mid-stride. This one covers Valdez and Wrangell-St Elias, moving between glacier hikes and the quiet, weathered remains of old mining settlements.

The pace is active rather than relentless — you're out on foot most days, but there's room to take in the landscape rather than just cover ground. Camping features alongside more comfortable stops, so you get both the wild nights and a proper bed when it counts.

What you'll do

  • Hike directly on glacier ice
  • Explore abandoned mining towns in the Wrangell-St Elias backcountry
  • Take in mountain scenery across Valdez and the surrounding wilderness
  • Camp out under Alaska's near-endless summer daylight
  • Guided hikes through varied terrain, from valleys to ice fields
Good to know
  • Moderate pace with regular hiking days — suits people comfortable walking for extended periods
  • Mix of camping and private-room stays, so expect some nights without full comforts
  • Fully guided throughout, in a small group
