This is a trip that you'll be talking about for a long, long time. It begins in a tiny Supercub aircraft that takes us to a small landing strip on the tundra of upper Canyon Creek. The scenery and solitude here are both absolute.

As we meander up the valley the peaks seem to get higher and the various gorges carved out by the creek's tributaries give clues to the valley's name. After a sweaty but non-technical climb to a 6,500 foot pass, we'll stop and soak in the view and scramble to the top of a nearby peak on the ridge if time allows. The descent from here is the tricky part as it follows a direct line down a steep snow gulley; but not to worry, no previous climbing experience is necessary! We'll bring along the rope and other necessary gear, and teach you the appropriate techniques you'll need to get down safely. As if that thrill isn't enough, the feeling you get when you step out onto the Twaharpies Glacier and take in the surrounding giants will floor you. From here we'll hike down the valley to the Glacier Creek airstrip. This is one of the trademark traverses in Wrangell - St. Elias National Park!
