Book Your Guided Hike
We are now offering four excursions: Tonsina Trail, Mount Marathon Bowl Trail, Mount Marathon Bowl Trail with Mount Marathon Race Summit and Bear Mountain.
Tonsina Trail is a classic favorite amongst locals and ends with a beautiful walk along Resurrection Bay. Explore the Mount Marathon Bowl and gain new vantage points of the city and surrounding waters. For those curious about the famous Mount Marathon Race, extend your bowl trip further to reach the peak of the Race Trail. Bear Mountain is an off the beaten path hike for bold hikers seeking a challenging but rewarding experience.
Note that Tonsina trips may be shared with other groups, but all other hikes will be private.
Tips are not expected, but appreciated!
