      TravelerWritten June 2025

      Just to be clear, the price will be $2235 total for this solo traveler? Your quote below indicates a per person price.

    • Wildland TrekkingOperatorWritten June 2025

      This is a backpacking trip, not a lodge-based one. There is no single supplement for solo hikers on a backpacking trip so the rate is the same for all guests. The only lodge-based availability close to his dates is on the Aug. 12-18 Heart of Alaska Inn Based Tour. The rate for that is $6585 per person + $1645 for a single room.
