About Alaska Backcountry Access
Alaska Backcountry Access is a mobile adventure company with meeting points throughout Southcentral Alaska, conveniently serving visitors staying in Anchorage, Girdwood, and Seward. Specialising in motorised backcountry experiences, they provide both guided tours and unguided rentals for guests who want to explore Alaska's vast wilderness on their own terms.
Their winter programme features snowmobile tours and unguided snowmobile rentals for experienced riders, accessing the Chugach Mountains' alpine terrain and glacier-fed valleys surrounding Girdwood. Summer operations shift to ATV adventures, with guided tours through boreal forest trails and along mountain ridgelines offering panoramic views of Turnagain Arm and the surrounding peaks. Custom tours are a specialty — guests can request tailored itineraries based on skill level and desired terrain.
Alaska Backcountry Access stands out by offering genuine unguided snowmobile rentals — a rarity in Alaska, where most operators require a guide. For experienced riders, this means the freedom to explore at their own pace on late-model machines with GPS tracking and safety equipment provided. Their flexible meeting point system also eliminates the need for guests to navigate unfamiliar roads, as the team brings the machines to the closest access point.
