Backpacking & Hiking

In addition to our expedition programs, Chilkat Guides along with our partners Alaska Mountain Guides and Skagway Excursions specialize in a variety of shorter backpacking and river based trips. Whether our half day float through the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, an overnight fly-in and descent of the Tsirku River, or a multi-day hike of the historic Chilkoot Trail, our guides put a premium on guest experience.
