It was only a few summers ago when we first offered this extended classic Alaskan hiking tour and it has quickly become our most popular. This is a longer route and at times challenging but it will leave you well satisfied and feeling that you have experienced that very best that Alaska and Wrangell-St. Elias have to offer.

seven pass routeWe start off our hiking trek by flying into Iceberg Lake near the massive Bagley Ice Field. This is a glacially dammed lake and the floating chunks of ice give the lake its locally known moniker. We will certainly want to spend some time taking pictures here. Bears frequent this valley so maybe we'll get lucky and spot one. Wolverine have also been seen on occasion.

The second day we put on crampons for a fun day of crossing a glacier! Our camp is at the edge of another lake in a spot that is known to produce some stunning sunset photo opportunities.

From here we continue on with high ridge traverses, another exciting glacier crossing and more. Every day brings new and different terrain as we move from glaciers to lush green valleys to alpine ridges to wind swept passes. Last summer we explored a new route variation that includes a third glacier crossing. This one is smaller but interesting as it's at a higher elevation than the other valley glaciers. This tour just gets better every summer.

Seven Pass RouteThe scenery we will encounter is second to none with dramatic, snow capped peaks both near and far. We take a fairly moderate pace but it involves 8 days of hiking and a few longer days. This is an excellent choice for someone with a sense of adventure and the desire for a very special alaskan backpacking trip.

Take a look at some pictures from last summer on the Seven Passes. Or better yet, request our free CD of slideshows from Wrangell-St. Elias National Park!
