Greg Fensterman, owner and senior guide

Greg first fell in love with mountains as a young lad on a Boy Scout backpacking trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. On his way to Alaska he made detour to Washington state where he spent six years exploring extensively in the Cascades of central and northern Washington. He was been active in the Seattle branch of the Mountaineers where he instructed in a range of outdoor skills including navigation, route finding, snow shoeing, avalanche awareness and rescue, winter camping, ice ax self arrest and others.

In 2002 Greg moved to Alaska and fell in love with Wrangell-St. Elias. Starting Trek Alaska was mostly a way to make sure he could spend his summers in this amazing place. Greg has traveled extensively in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park including the pioneering of many new hiking routes in the backcountry of the park. His passion is exploratory treks on untried routes and tries to get in at least one of those each summer.

In the spring of 2008 his book Hiking Alaska's Wrangell-St. Elias National Park was publish by Falcon Guides.
