Itinerary
Some people call it a snowmobile, and others call it a snowmachine. SAGA calls it fun! Experience Alaska's winter wilderness with your thumb on the throttle as a SAGA guide leads the way. Join us on an unforgettable adventure as we make our way up Hatcher Pass and ride in the backcountry of the Talkeetna mountains. This tour starts at our base location in Willow, Alaska and travels by snowmobile to our lodge on Hatcher Pass where a warm meal awaits your arrival. This is the true backcountry of Alaska.
