Pika Glacier is located on a fork of the Kahiltna Glacier, which originates on the southwestern slopes of Denali and is the largest glacier in the Alaska Range.  This spectacular wilderness is known as “Little Switzerland” and is famous for its rock spires and couloirs.  Accessible by airplane, this remote base camp sets us up for some of the best alpine climbing and ski mountaineering in the world.
