    It was a gorgeous day for a drive on Denali Highway with Denali Jeep Excursions. We drove in a caravan with a guide from DJE at the front and another guide at the rear. Binoculars were provided for our use. As we drove, Rick and Nick used the CB type radios to communicate with the caravan the whole time. To say they were incredibly educated, gracious, knowledgeable, comical and kind is an understatement. We saw Denali in all its glory from multiple vantage points throughout our adventure. We were educated and entertained as Rick put it we had an edutainment kind of tour. We stood in arctic tundra, can now identify a glacial esker, cirque and a horn. We, unfortunately, did not see any animals but learned about Alaska's population, indigenous peoples, animal populations and a whole lot more! Wow, many thanks to our guides Rick and Nick for a fabulous morning tour. You are the best.

    From pick up to drop off, Don & Rudy were amazing hosts, leaders, teachers & entertainers! We were so lucky to do this on a clear morning & saw the awe-inspiring Mt McKenley. I would recommend this excursion to anyone that wants to see beautiful places up close.

    In almost every other BLM land, unpaved/fireroad situation like this one: I'd be recommending to my friends they rent their own car and just drive the highway themselves to avoid being in a group of tourists. In this case: that would be the biggest mistake of all time - because you wouldn't have Nick and Riley on the CB radio sharing their WEALTH of knowledge and passion about this place. You can AND SHOULD tip them a lot. And why not toss in a raise if ownership is reading this. But I'm here to tell you the reward for these guys seemed to also just be getting to share how they felt about this place and what they knew about it. Plenty of other people would have chat GPT'd facts about certain parts of the ride or printed out a laminate sheet so any old anybody could read what needed to be read at the right time. But that's not the case here. They were able to answer on the spot questions about the geology of anything anyone pointed at. And that's special. Especially for seasonal workers. The views by the way are stunning. But as someone who owns a wrangler themselves and takes trails like these around Utah and California a couple times a month, I now know the views are only half the battle. I love silence, I like avoiding other tourists, but I now wish every time I went out I had guides like these on my CB radio. Well worth the money.

    Great scenic tour of the Denali Highway. Great information of Alaska and the area with a little bit of comedy thrown in.

    We were lucky and got a perfect view of Denali. Our guides were careful to watch the clouds so we arrived at the best spot at the exact time

    Don was our can driver and did most of the explanations on our tour. This was the best tour we took this trip. The jeeps were clean, comfortable and well kept and the company had water waiting in the vehicle and snacks halfway through. What particularly impressed me the most was the extent of Don and Rudy's knowledge of flora and fauna as well as Alaskan history. The love of their adopted state is evident. This is a can't miss experience.

    This was by far the most unique tour we had in a while. We took the 5:00 PM tour, and our driver,…read moreJoel Miner, was none other than the owner himself. There are 5 Sherp vehicles and we felt very fortunate and honor to have him as our guide. We are a family of four, including two teenagers, and he made the experience enjoyable for all of us. He even used a drone to scout the area for wildlife. As a retired state trooper who participated in rescue missions, he immediately made us feel safe and comfortable. He was fun, knowledgeable, and shared many personal stories that kept our entire family entertained throughout the tour. Toward the end of the trip, he spotted a young moose in a nearby field, which was the perfect cherry on top of an already amazing experience. One of the best parts was receiving a souvenir video package that included drone footage from our tour. It was such a thoughtful touch and a wonderful keepsake. Highly recommended! We had a fantastic experience, and it was well worth the money.

Then we came to Alaska and spent 3 days in the Fairbanks area without seeing any wildlife. I drove around Healy...beautiful mountains, but still no wildlife. To be clear, there's never a guarantee of seeing animals in the wild, Joel was very clear on this point, but Joel, Tim, and Mark did everything to increase our chances and they delivered! Between two simultaneous Sherp vehicles and multiple drones scouting ahead for wildlife, we saw 2 adult moose and a cub. We also saw a snowshoe hare. We also saw beautiful mountain ranges from a perspective you won't see from the roadway, even if you visit Denali National Park. We got to ride over frozen rivers and lakes and see a historic WW2 era cabin and hear the unique history of it, as well as Alaska in general. The guides went out of their way to make the trip fun, safe, and informative. In the end, the tour was expensive, but a fantastic value for what you get. I highly recommend it for anyone visiting the area.

Best part and highlight of the tour. 5 mins. 2- dog sledding demo + wonderful facts sharing and storytelling about the dogs, their puppies, their day to day activities and seasonal activities.

We had no idea the level of commitment, training, and dedication it takes to lead a dog sledding team, especially in the famed thousand-mile treks of the Iditarod and Yukon Quest races. Jeff King (the "winningest musher in the world"), and his daughter, Tessa, were engaging and captivated our attention the entire time. This is a must-do when visiting Denali (even if you visit the Denali sled dog kennels--it's quite a different experience as Denali's dogs are primarily used for education and transportation during the winter months, while Jeff's dogs are true athletes and bred for speed). Afterwards, buy Jeff's autobiography so you can delve deeper into his fascinating life (near-death experiences in sub-zero temperatures and run-ins with wolves and caribou!).

For anyone not sure about what to do during their time in Alaska, I would definitely recommend Traverse Alaska.

From plants, lichen, and wildflowers to moose droppings, spruce bark beetles, and the delicate balance of the ecosystem, he made every step of the trail fascinating. Even though we didn't spot any wildlife, I never once felt like we missed out because the forest itself felt so alive with stories. The pace was comfortable, the views over the Nenana River were beautiful, and I walked away feeling like I had learned far more than I expected. If you enjoy nature, learning, and getting off the beaten path a bit, I highly recommend this experience.

Maybe Denali Backcountry Guides ask everyone at time of booking "This is a strenuous hike covering x miles and y elevation gain. Do you feel capable of making that hike?" I don't know. Just know it is disappointing to book a strenuous hike, then go slowly and only cover half. The guide was knowledgeable and the hike was good. With a different group of hikers, it would be 5 star.
