Dear Fellow Adventurer!
Thank you for your interest. We're based in Talkeetna, Alaska, which is about 100 miles north of Anchorage and near Denali National Park. It is a village of about 600 people. The region is very beautiful wild and remote, and rich in Alaska history. Denali stands watch not far from our doorstep. The Talkeetna area offers some unique opportunities for wilderness adventures because we are surrounded by mountains: the Alaska Range arcs around us to the west and the Talkeetna Mountains close the circle on the east. Three major rivers converge here and several others feed those.
Talkeetna is the starting point for many adventures: mountain climbing, hunting, rafting, fishing, hiking, skiing, camping. The terrain consists of broad river valleys surrounded by mountains with spruce and birch forests interspersed with muskegs in the lower elevations and open tundra higher up. The rivers and lakes and the glaciers and mountain valleys that feed them are beautiful and unspoiled. You will be sharing your surroundings with a variety of wildlife: moose, grizzly and brown bears, sheep, caribou, eagles, otters, waterfowl and many other creatures. Salmon spawn in the rivers and the trout grayling and char are there as well. Summer weather varies from warm sunny days to wind and rain, with temperatures between 25 and 75 degrees. Fall and spring temperatures vary from 10 to 50 degrees.
I’ve been roaming the wild places of Alaska by foot, snowshoe, boat, airplane, skis and raft since 1978. I’ve spent many seasons guiding from southeast Alaska to the Brooks Range. I am a full time commercial pilot with 6000 hours of Alaska flying time. I maintain a fleet of three airplanes equipped with wheels, skis or floats to cover a wide variety of transportation needs. I operate under FAA Part 135 (air charter) regulations. I operate and maintain my planes to better than FAA standards.
