Guided & Unguided Hiking Tours Near Denali
at Caribou Lodge Alaska

Hiking in Alaska is one of the ultimate wilderness adventures, and Caribou Lodge is best known as a hiking destination.

During your stay we offer guided or unguided half-day hikes, full-day hikes, overnight camping trips, as well as customized

back-country trips.  Click for more info on our all-inclusive camping trips.

The only hiking trails around the lodge were carved out many years ago from large caribou herds, and we use them every day.

If we are not on an old caribou trail we are walking over untouched tundra which can be very wet sometimes, so come prepared with good hiking boots.

With custom-tailored options to accommodate anyone from the novice hiker to the  experienced cross-country trekker, we have many hiking opportunities, ranging from a 5 minute walk up Blueberry Hill for an unmatched view of Denali, to 8-mile full day outings where your sense of adventure needs to be as good as your boots.

Some of our guests would rather hike without a guide, and that's ok. If you are comfortable hiking in bear country unguided, we can provide you with a pack lunch, bear spray, and let you explore on your own. (If you intend to hike on your own, we highly recommend you bring some type of GPS. (All camping trips are guided)


Whether you’re packing a small  lunch for a day hike or outfitting a frame pack with everything you’ll need for multiple days out in the Alaskan bush, you are going to have a great adventure here at Caribou Lodge.
