"I
would absolutely advise hikers to plan a trip with KWG. It's not
a matter of if I'm coming back, rather when. Really, it was just
a great experience. Route knowledge, camp skills, & communication
were all great." "Scenery:
beyond our expectations. The food was energizing. Our guide was
well familiar with the area and always aware of objective hazards.
He made us feel more confident camping in the backcountry. He was
very conscious of our concerns." "I
loved the route! The variability of glacier travel, climbing and
land travel was great. It provided enough challenge that I felt
satisfyingly tired at camp." "I
wanted to first off let you know how much I appreciate the work
that you put into my trip to the Wrangells. The whole experience
in your neck of the woods was unforgettable. You truly do live in
a pristine place, and it's a privilege to have seen it through your
eyes, even if for just a week. I know I only skimmed the surface,
and hope to return in the very near future." "A
big land that made me feel small - and great!" "Guide
dedication to making sure we were 'doing good' was appreciated." "Thank
You. A Great Trip. Super Memories. I will be back."
