Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Barbara Falls, Ken Logan Circle, Eagle River, Anchorage, AK 99577

We start the tour by following the gorgeous South Fork Eagle River, pausing to observe the ice-dam formations created by frigid-cold and fast-moving water. Ice crystals appear to grow from the surface of the water, slowing and raising the water level in terrific ways. Just minutes later, we arrive at the base of the magical 25-foot waterfall where you see shimmering icicles, fascinating ice bridges and falling water frozen-in-time.

After stocking up a store of photos to show your friends and family, we embark on a short nature walk. You will see the stunning vegetation living within our diverse boreal forests. Towering species such as white spruces, paper birches, and aspens drape the frozen ground below. We will explain the intriguing biological mysteries happening within the lichen, mosses, and trees that surround us. We could also see local wildlife, such as: moose, hare, rodents, and birds.

Transportation included in total time of tour:
(1 hour transportation & 4 hours hiking)

    Leah was a great guide and very knowledgeable about the area. She provided walking sticks and made sure everyone was secure and comfortable on what we were doing. Really enjoyed this tour!

    We had the most amazing day taking the waterfall hike with Leah. She was timely with the pickup and a great driver. Once we reached our location for the hike we were simply in awe of the winter wonderland before our eyes. We are from New Orleans thus, we never have an opportunity to see so much snow. Our hike was absolutely beautiful! However, I think we had on too many clothes and at some point we overheated. That was due to our lack of knowledge regarding dressing for the Alaskan winter. Otherwise we had an amazing day and surprisingly the waterfall was not too difficult to hike. Thanks Leah for being our guide and keeping us safe while we hiked the waterfall and witnessed such unimaginable beauty in Anchorage, Alaska.

    This was just more confirmation that Alaska is God’s country. Magnificent hike, sights and beauty all around. My guide was extremely personable, attentive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all things Alaska. She took time out to point out the plethora of foraging options even under a blanket of snow.

    What a beautiful snowy trail to the frozen falls! Our guide Matt was friendly, enthusiastic, knowledgeable & made our time a lot of fun! The falls were beautifully frozen over with water flowing through the ice. We were able to also walk through the woods, to the frozen river, where the Mountain views were amazing.Highly recommend Matt and his team for hiking tours when in Alaska!

    If you want to get out there but only have half a day, then this tour is perfect! Matt and Greg are a wealth of knowledge regarding the area, plants, and animals. We extended our hike to see a bit more - the frozen waterfall and scenery were just beautiful and we had a great time. We're looking forward to taking another, longer day tour with this company this summer. Thank you Matt!

    Matt is a true naturalist and an awesome tour guide. He will teach you how plants in the park grow and survive, and he can easily recognize the footprints of different animals. Later on, I wanted to hike around and outside the trail where I would not see many hikers and feel like I'm in the wilderness; Matt guided me to a perfect place that made me stay amused by the view for a while.
