New Wave Adventures Guided Hiking

Most Denali visitors crave the world-famous wilderness experience that this region offers. The great news is that you don't need to journey far to bask in true wilderness, and you need not explore solo. New Wave Adventures provides experienced guides who go beyond guiding your way—they enrich your journey with insights into the area's history, flora, fauna, and geology.

Choose from 3 Hikes in the Denali Area

Oxbow

An easy, 1.5-mile hike and the best option for travelers with children. You’ll follow the Nenana River with views of Mt. Sugarloaf, Mt. Healy and Mt. Fellows while looking for wildlife

Triple Lakes

This is also an easy/moderate hike, where you’ll be looking out for moose and gorgeous wildflowers. Lasting 3.5 hours, it offers views of the Nenana River and Yanert Valley—you’ll also see 3 gorgeous alpine lakes that are home to arctic grayling and beavers.

Rock Creek

This trail serves up a slightly more strenuous hike, covering 4 miles over the 3- to 4-hour adventure. You’ll leave from Denali’s visitor center to tackle this well-maintained loop trail, with great views and possible wildlife along the way.

About New Wave Adventures

The company launched in 2020, but New Wave’s professional guides come with years of experience in Denali, as well as other parts of Alaska and around the world.

These interpretive hiking trips run at the same time as their rafting trips on the Nenana River (8am and 2pm), so they’re perfect if part of your group would like to raft instead of hike, or if you want to book multiple adventures and seamlessly transition between them.
