Dreaming of a true Alaska Wilderness Experience?

Why choose KWG?
Kennicott Wilderness Guides is the local guide service that provides unique Alaskan hospitality. We are a close-knit group of locally-grown mountaineers and year-round Alaskans who have operated this guide service as a way of living for over 12 years. KWG has the lowest client to guide ratio of any guide service operating out of the McCarthy - Kennicott area, resulting in a much safer and higher quality experience for our guests. Our clients consistently regard us as the most experienced, medically trained, and professional service operating in this area. We are truly proud of our very high percentage of guides that return year after year and call the Kennicott - McCarthy community their home. Our custom itineraries, small group sizes, and gourmet meals make a trip with KWG an experience like no other.
