Your journey starts at our home base in Willow, Alaska. Here, you’ll hop on a snowmobile for a 40-mile trek through the heart of Alaska’s backcountry. We’re heading to our cozy lodge in Hatcher Pass, part of the Talkeetna Mountains. As we make our way, you’ll see why this area is known for its breathtaking, untamed beauty. Once we arrive, settle into your cabin and then join us for a down-to-earth, homemade dinner. We’ll keep our eyes on the sky as the evening draws near; this is when the Northern Lights make their appearance.
When the night sky comes alive, you’ve got the best seat in the house. Stay comfy in your chair or take your snowmobile out for a spin to catch the lights from a different spot. In the morning, a hearty Alaskan breakfast awaits. After filling up, we’ll hop back on our snowmobiles for the return journey to Willow. With your guides acting more like longtime friends, you’ll return not just with great photos but also unforgettable stories and memories.
