Highlights
Outing Highlights
UTV approach to a back‑woods base camp
Guests travel by UTV into the Alaskan Wild Woods Base Camp before setting out on the hike, shortening the overland approach and delivering immediate access to deep‑forest trails.
A patchwork of gravel, stairs, elevated walkways and deep woods
The walk moves across compact gravel trail, stairs and elevated walkways into natural deep‑woods paths — a variety of surfaces in a short itinerary that keeps the outing lively and varied.
Small‑group Bigfoot and nature focus with refreshments
Designed for Bigfoot enthusiasts, environmentalists and the casually curious, the guided outing runs as an intimate group experience and includes complimentary refreshments to round out the field time.

In roughly two and a half hours you'll meet your guide, board a UTV for the short ride into the wild woods base camp, then follow trailhead paths through mossy understory and over constructed walkways.
