North America Treks & Tours

Hotels

In cities and large towns you will be accommodated in good 3 to 4 star properties that are generally centrally located, atmospheric, and reliable and where we have seen a good track record with traveller satisfaction.

Lodges

We use a variety of quality lodges across North America. They are not luxury lodges but what they do offer is very comfortable accommodation which is well maintained and with many facilities. Generally, the trip notes that we have prepared for each trip will give you details of the types of properties we use on any one itinerary.

Bed & breakfasts

Selected for their desirable locations and local charm, B&Bs and guesthouses offer tasty meals, comfortable rooms, and warm, friendly welcomes at the end of each day.

Camping

On many of our trips we will erect campsites in wilderness terrains. These feature two person tents, a dining tent and a portable toilet tent when permanent amenities are not available or their presence is ecologically unsound. The spacious tents, most of which you can stand up in, are well ventilated with insect nets.

Mountain huts

On backcountry trails, mountaineering routes and glacier traverses we stay in remote mountain huts. You can expect these to be basic but comfortable and from time to time the sleeping arrangements are dormitory style – in keeping with the true mountain spirit!

Bryan Caenepeel

Bryan first visited Alaska in 2005. The roots grew deep and six years later he still calls Anchorage home. Guiding has been his passion since he arrived and he has led some 4,000 travellers through the state. Mountains and the adventure within them have always inspired Bryan. On any given day you can find him enjoying his 'backyard' seeking out powder stashes in the backcountry, casting a fly into pristine glacial streams, or just capturing the beauty through the lens of his camera.
