“Alaska Mountain Guides, quite simply the best.”

HIking Tours

Alaska Mountain Guides and Chilkat Guides have been guiding hiking trips in Skagway and Haines for over 25 years! The guides that lead our hiking programs have a wealth of local naturalist knowledge that they are excited to share. In addition to leading our day trip, many of our guides also lead extended multi-day hiking and mountaineering programs in Alaska and around the world.

We have a series of hiking programs in both Haines and Skagway. Some offer steep ascents to mountain overlooks while others offer a shorter distance option along gentle coastal trails.

Explore some of the many great hiking options that we have in our region of Alaska!
