Mountaineering Guides

The seven guide services listed here are the only companies permitted to guide on Mount McKinley. To search for companies that are authorized to guide mountaineering trips in other areas of the park, use the Directory of Commercial Visitor Service Providers.

It is the individual climber's responsibility to insure that the guide chosen is one of the seven authorized guide services. Any individual or group that is found to be guided by an unauthorized guide will have their registration voided, be removed from the mountain, and issued a citation.
