Overview

The Talkeetna Mountains, a stunning range in Palmer, has endless hiking possibilities. From exploring old mines to hiking glacial valleys, our local guides know the best spots to get you away from the crowds to some of the area's most beautiful destinations. Adventurers can expect a full-day hiking experience, complete with a picnic lunch. Soak in scenic waterfall views, adventuring in alpine tundra along the way. On our journey, you will learn about local flora and fauna, the history of the area, and hopefully see some wildlife in its natural habitat!

Activity itinerary

If guests opt to meet us in Palmer, we start at the Palmer Visitor Centre where we will review our plans for the day.

Sutton/Coal Hills

We will then load up and head to our hiking destination. This trip travels the Eska Falls trail, a location slightly outside of the Palmer - in Sutton Alaska. This hike is located in the Talkeetna Mountains. We will hike about 11 miles starting on old mining roads in boreal forest and travelling up to alpine tundra. Our hidden waterfalls trip is an out-and-back adventure with an elevation gain of about 2,500 feet. During our hike we'll take pauses along the way to discuss flora, fauna, the mining history of the Talkeetna Mountains, and the boreal forest. At our turnaround point, we'll take an extended break soaking in views of the surrounding mountains (as weather permits). We'll descend the same trail, making our way back to the trailhead.
