Snowmobile in the high country of Turnagain Pass to seek the legendary snow the Chugach National Forest is famous for. Meet your guide for snowmachining instruction at the trail head in Turnagain Pass or at Bertha Creek on the Kenai Peninsula for riding in mountain valleys. Snowmobile travel typically takes you on historic wagon trails, to a roadhouse, around a campground loop and to a salmon habitat restoration project in Johnson Pass.
The Iditarod National Historic Trail unfolds as snowmachiners follow gold miners trails made famous by Alaskan huskies. If conditions permit we climb to elevation at Lynx Creek for panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and creeks hydraulically gold mined by ‘giants’. Alternately we ride the meadows and trails of Turnagain Pass where the locals ride trails linking powder fields and ancient glacial moraine.

We went on the Turnagain Pass Snowmobiling tour and had an absolute blast! We were able to see some wildlife and enjoy the beautiful snowy surroundings. Andy was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable! Highly recommend this tour.

The machines were in pretty decent shape and held up to our novice driving. In addition, Andy was very patient as we crashed a few times! The booking process was easy and Andy did good job communicating info to us before we arrived. Overall, a great experience and would do again!
