What you'll see and do
We will take you to the wintry wonderland of the Glen Alps just east of Anchorage where a colossal, glaciated valley awaits. After a quick introduction, or refresher, to the elements of snowshoeing, we will hit the snow-packed trail and head to South Fork Campbell Creek, draining through the heart of the valley. After crossing the creek, we will drift in between hemlock forests and snow-covered alpine meadows, pausing to take photos of magnificent sights. We will take note of the tracks we see, and seek out wildlife like moose, snowshoe hare, and birds. Several peaks dominate the landscape for our viewing pleasure and camera lenses.

Truly an Alaskan adventure
Mike was a phenomenal guide on our snow shoe hike adventure today. It was actively snowing on us all day as we hiked about 3.5 miles in and out of hemlock forests, easily maneuvering over snow drifts and mountain terrain. We loved this experience... it was perfect for us, away from crowds, alone in Alaskan wilderness with someone who made us feel safe and took our interests and likes into account as he scouted out our route along the base of Flattop mountain. Highly recommend Mike for any hike.
Response from the operator: Thank you, Denesia! Thanks for letting people know about your experience with your guide, Mike, about the environment, solitude, safety, and customization. That goes along way in telling people what they can expect when they book a tour with us. Thanks again!

A great way to explore beautiful back country in winter
Had a fantastic day with Matt in the backcountry of the Chugach mountains just outside of Anchorage. We had great luck with the weather, with super clear skies and incredible visibility, and trekked over 6 miles and around 1,400 feet of elevation. Matt took additional photos to share, was very friendly, and found interesting spots to check out, ultimately spotting a moose as well. It was great exercise and a way to safely explore an area I had no past experience with, and would recommend to anyone interested in a little adventure with gorgeous scenery.
Response from the operator: Hello Paulo! Thanks again for such an amazing journey together. That was super cool for me as well. I had the best time together with you out there. Really, just an all around perfect day. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review!

Excellent!
Such a great adventure and Matt was great! Highly recommended! We also did the winter forest hike and recommend that as well!
Response from the operator: Hi Alissa! Wow, yesterday was phenomenal. Moose, ptarmigan and clear skies. Great pictures and company. It was a win-win all the way around yesterday. Thanks for your kind review. I really enjoyed getting to know you and Mark. Thanks again!

Beautiful hike, awesome guide
I had an absolutely amazing time on the snowshoeing adventure! Matt was a lot of fun, knew a lot about the area, and wanted to make sure we were all having as much fun as he was! I would definitely do this again and plan to do some of his summer activities when I’m back in Alaska!
Response from the operator: Thanks so much Emily! I hope you see those amazing Northern Lights while you’re here. Take care!!

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Advanced Snowshoeing Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Anchorage.
How much does Advanced Snowshoeing Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $164 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Anchorage usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Advanced Snowshoeing Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Anchorage is not rushed.
Is Advanced Snowshoeing Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Anchorage, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Advanced Snowshoeing Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Advanced Snowshoeing Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Advanced Snowshoeing Adventure?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Anchorage can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Anchorage and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Advanced Snowshoeing Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Anchorage within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Anchorage?
+
Anchorage is the staging point for glacier cruises out of Whittier and Seward, Denali flightseeing, wildlife conservation centre visits, dog sledding and northern lights chases in winter. Long transfer times make itinerary honesty essential. On Outty we rank every Anchorage experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include PRISTINE - Wilderness, Wildlife, Glacier Experience in Anchorage, Anchorage Trolley's Deluxe City Tour, Anchorage Trolley's 1-Hour City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Anchorage?
+
June to August for glaciers, September to March for aurora. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Anchorage?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
