WHY
CHOOSE KWG?
Kennicott Wilderness Guides is the local guide service providing professional
service and unique Alaskan hospitality since 1995. We are a close-knit
group of locally-grown mountaineers and year-round Alaskans, proud of
both the high percentage of return & lifetime guides who call Kennicott-McCarthy
home as well as the spectacular and authentic wilderness experiences and
adventures we provide visitors year after year. KWG has the lowest client
to guide ratio of any service operating within Wrangell St. Elias National
Park, giving clients the level of safety and service they deserve. In
addition, our guides have Wilderness First Responder training, carry first
aid & satellite phones, and have never had a negative encounter with
a bear in the backcountry. Contact one of our references, then let us
start to help you make it happen

ECONOMIC STIMULUS PACKAGE...
We've
been discussing how to respond to the economic challenges that many people
are facing. We've always worked hard to balance the affordability of our
trips with both the cost of operating a quality-minded, enjoyable, professional
guide service & the economic pressures and realities of running a
small business.
At this time, our crew is equally concerned about making a living (like
everyone else), and about getting enough time in the backcountry ourselves.
The way we look at it, we (guides and our clients) are in this together.
In order to make backcountry trip experiences more accessible to more
clients, we've decided to reduce all our multi-day prices - taking wage-cuts
ourselves as part of the deal.
We
hope this gesture enables more people to experience the grandeur of Wrangell
St. Elias National Park. Here's a link to our Pricing
page.
