St. Elias Alpine Guides has been guiding first-rate adventures led by professional guides since 1978. We are professional Alaska adventure guides and Alaska hiking guides with decades of experience in the wilderness. From half-day glacier hikes to week-long backpacking trips and 30 day climbing expeditions, we take great pride in making sure that your experience is exceptional!
We are based in McCarthy, at the heart of Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and the largest preserved wilderness area on earth. This is Alaska at its finest, where you will find massive mountains, enormous glaciers, wild rivers and none of the crowds of Denali or the Kenai. We are the local experts on this vast wilderness and love to share it with our guests!
