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.

2010 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.
