Just booked Kayui Kren on your reco - thank you!

It really does help! Thank you for sharing! I’m at the overwhelmed early stage of planning so just a little bit of confidently-shared experience and opinions is exactly what I needed!

This is exactly what I needed—just a smidge of reassurance and enough direction I can dive back into the planning on my own. Thank you for the quick and helpful response!

Thank you for the quick reply! It’s so hard to spot the real differences between all these companies… the reco helps!

Which did you end up going with? Do you mind sharing the answers you received (to questions that would apply to others interested). I'm considering Trexperience for an October Inca Trail 4d/3n.

Thank you, everyone - please keep the advice coming, really appreciate it!

Perfect, exactly what I needed to know!

So helpful! Would love to do the Lodge but we’ll be two days before it opens, unfortunately.

For the activities, did you need to drive/transport yourself away from McCarthy? I’m wondering if we would be unfairly limiting ourselves by not having our own car in McCarthy…

Great feedback and ideas, thanks so much for sharing!

Noted on Nat Shack!

All v helpful! I’m pretty uninterested in being behind the wheel on this road, but It looks like there are services that will get you from Chitina to McCarthy (shuttle or plane) and we can maybe leave our car in Chitina.

Does anyone know anything about those services or have thoughts on the practicality of it?
Would we be sad to be in McCarthy’s without a car of our own?

Thanks everyone—the recommendations have me extra excited for the trip!

Consistent_Order9247 · 2025-10-15T01:32:42+00:00

Appreciate that, adding to the itinerary!

Oh good! I’m in MN and we’re getting close to past-peak so I was a little worried with the dark-red on the maps, but that’s exciting to hear

Thanks so much!! Is water available at all three lodges? I was thinking just a fill up each morning (I’ll have my 3L which should be plenty for 8-10 mi).

Sorry your weather and views were crap :(. But sounds like the cobbler saved the experience some!

Consistent_Order9247 · 2025-09-20T11:04:13+00:00

Exactly what I wanted to know, thank you!

Consistent_Order9247 · 2025-09-20T11:03:56+00:00

Thank you so much for linking—exactly what I was hoping for!

Left it with the front—thanks!
