Donoho Peak Circumnavigation
Donoho Peak is a 6,696 foot tall towering limestone mountain surrounded
on three sides by glaciers. This trip leaves from Kennicott and
takes 4 days to circumnavigate this Donoho Peak via glacier ice,
alpine ridges and the isolated wilderness of the Donoho Basin. We
will use crampons to hike up the Root Glacier towards the Stairway
Icefall to the northern side of Donoho Peak. From here traveling
on alpine ridges gains the pass, good tundra camping and the big
views of the huge glaciated mountains beyond. After descent from
the alpine the route continues through the pristine ecosystem surrounding
the lakes in the Donoho Basin, and ends with one last glacier crossing
to get home to Kennicott. The trip is approximately 15 miles and
is moderate to challenging.
Donoho Peak Circumnavigation, Late June -
Early September, 4 days
Price: 2 people $725 per / 3 people $650 / 4 people $550

Wrangell Plateau
4
days, between July 19th and 31st
Mt. Wrangell is a massive shield volcano that is estimated to be
7 times the cubic volume of Mt. Ranier. On rare occasions this huge
massif will belch out steam from its summit. This is a point-to-point
hike from one alpine plateau shouldering ice-buried Mt. Wrangell
to another. The views are enormous. This is an up-close look at
massive, flowing glaciers. The terrain is mostly wide-open alpine
tundra with the opportunity to possibly spot wolves, bear, dall
sheep, and caribou. We'll gain a few thousand feet, and lose around
2,000, as we scramble down across a glacier. We'll be using crampons
while travelling on the ice. The route is 18 miles, with opportunities
for additional mileage depending upon group capabilities and interests.
Wrangell Plateau trek, 4 days
Price: 2 people $1150 per / 3 people $975 per / 4 people $875
