Thompson Pass Hiking & Backpacking Guide

CMI offers guided hiking and backpacking trips in the Thompson Pass area Central Chugach Mountains from June into October. Endless options for adventure are available for all ability and experience levels.

Thompson Pass is the highest elevation road-accessible place in the Chugach. That makes for relatively easy access to the alpine where there are endless options for adventure. It’s ~20-40 minute drive from the town of Valdez, depending on where you start your trip. Fly-in trips are an option to explore the more remote areas. This area is still quite glaciated and lush with vegetation, but drier than coastal Valdez.
