Additionally we offer 'Moonlight Snowshoe Meanders' in the evening. The hope on these after dark walks is to get a glimpse of aurora borealis, however, it's also magical to be walking out under the moon, the starry sky, or maybe under some falling snow

MelRose Treks is a woman owned and family operated business, and as such we are family friendly, and cater to all ages and ability levels! I'm a born and raised Alaskan, and I've been bringing my 3 kids out on the trails with me since they were old enough to walk. Now they're all teens and they do overnight backpacking trips with me, carry their own gear, and set up their own tents; and as part of our family centered business, they help with getting gear ready and assisting on day hikes as needed. We believe Alaska is Beautiful, and best enjoyed Outdoors, in All Seasons.
