Itinerary

In the Denali area, summer days seem endless, inviting you to step away from the hustle of tours and explore the raw beauty of the taiga and tundra on foot. This hike is a perfect way to experience Alaska’s wild landscape, with nothing but the sound of your footsteps and the rhythm of nature. Beneath the canopy of spruce aspen and birch trees that define the taiga, the air carries the fresh, earthy scent of the forest floor. Here, mosses and hardy plants thrive in the cool, shaded undergrowth. As you walk, keep your eyes sharp for signs of wildlife—perhaps you’ll spot antlers dropped by caribou or moose, blending into the landscape, a subtle reminder of the creatures that roam this vast terrain. Your guide will reveal the secrets of this delicate ecosystem, introducing you to the tiny plants that carpet the tundra, from lichen to wildflowers, and sharing stories of the resilient animals that survive in this rugged environment. Disclaimer: Please note that this hike can vary in difficulty depending on the group's pace and experience. The distance ranges from 3 to 5 miles and involves a mix of terrain. Participants should be prepared for varying conditions and levels of challenge.

We went on the Wave Train combo with Big Red last week. What a fun adventure! Big Red is an amazing, professional guide. She was really personable and we were so confident having her at the helm. This was definitely a trip highlight! Highly recommend New Wave!

New Wave Adventure is THE white water choice at Denali!

Published on Jul, 2020

Up in Denali, you will find several options for outdoor activities and several companies running each one. Let me tell you, New Wave Adventures deserves to be at the top of your list when maki g plans. I was on a solo trip to Alaska on some heavy personal business. When I was looking for an activity to lift my spirits, I called around to most of the companies in the area, the friendliest reception I got was from NWA. This was a good sign as I had seen them doing business the day before and was also impressed by that. They plugged me in with another group and my reservation was set. When they called an hour later to report that the other group cancelled, I was worried that I would be left high and dry. No worries though, the owners agreed to take me out solo. *By the way, they had no idea why I was in the area or that I was feeling really down. I arrived and was treated with exceptional customer service. They made me feel valued, welcome, and excited for the trip ahead. As we loaded up the boat, I realized they had literally called in a team of guides to fill the boat for the one customer. Pretty amazing. The company motto about making “every trip the best trip” is definitely more than words, it’s how NWA does business. The raftIng was a phenomenal mix of breathtaking scenery and physical thrills. Peacock was an outstanding captain and a knowledgeable guide, filling the ride with interesting bits on everything from geology to local history. In short, I cannot recommend New Wave Adventures enough. I have a tremendous appreciation for the company and its staff. If you miss this white water outing, you’re missing out on something as big as Mt. Denali itself.

Wow!...

Published on Jun, 2020

The whole team did a super job orienting us as to what to expect and the guide ( Bobski) was very knowledgable and in control at all times. What an exhilarating experience for all 4 of us... White water rafting has been on my bucket list for awhile now living in Alaska and I was able to go and enjoy the thrill this past weekend .. they are so capable and experienced there never a worry..
