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.

Andrew Morris, guide

Andrew is a recovering flatlander. Born and raised in Chicago, he set his eyes and heart towards the mountains at a young age, and has yet to look back. First visiting Alaska to trek through the Talkeetna Mountains in 2003, he was immediately taken by the sweeping beauty and unparalleled span of Alaska’s wilderness. Seeing this wild passion take root, he was told by a fellow traveler that he has got “the bug.” Embracing that affliction, Andrew has explored and guided across the country’s great wildernesses, from New England’s mountains to Midwest waterways, across the Utah desert, and over the ancient volcanic spines forming Washington’s great peaks. While earning his degree in Outdoor Education from the University of New Hampshire, he eventually found his way back to Alaska to climb among the continents highest mountains.

Backpacking by summer and skiing by winter, Andrew relishes his time as a traveler through the world’s beautiful outdoors. He can often be found spending his nights somewhere in the mountains, book in one hand and pen in the other, crafting his own stories on the page. Through his time outside, he has adopted his own maxim on his life right now: your twenties are for adventures and exploring, and your thirties are for figuring out what they’re for when you get there.
