Tordrillo Mountains

Voyage deep into the heart of the Alaskan wilderness on foot, water or in a helicopter, but wrap up the days’ adventure in exquisite comfort at the Tordrillo Mountain Lodge. Located on peaceful Judd Lake in the Alaska Range, the Tordrillo Mountain Lodge pairs deluxe accommodations, gourmet dining and a peaceful, picturesque atmosphere with some of the finest adventure activities found anywhere in Alaska. Cast into the headwaters of the Talachulitna River, a blue ribbon trout stream with excellent runs of King salmon, Sockeye salmon, Coho salmon and trophy-sized rainbow trout. Paddle through the surrounding waterways with canoes and kayaks. On a few of the days, turn it up a notch with helicopter-accessed fishing excursion, glacial exploration, hiking, wildlife viewing and whitewater rafting. After touching down in Alaska, EpicQuest guides take over to custom tailor an adventure with the perfect blend of adrenaline and relaxation for any age, interest or ability.

On arrival to either Anchorage or Talkeetna, Alaska, EpicQuest guides meet you for the floatplane flight to the Tordrillo Mountain Lodge. From the flight take in views of active volcanoes, Mt. McKinley and Denali National Park, several major mountain ranges including the Tordrillo and Aleutian Ranges, and the cityscape of Anchorage surrounded by rugged peaks and a stunning backdrop.

The Tordrillo Mountain Lodge is tucked in between Mt.McKinley towering at 20,320 feet and two smoldering volcanic peaks: Mt. Gerdine (11,258) and Mt. Torbert (11,413 feet). The surrounding terrain also sprawls out across massive glaciers and towering peaks that go on and on and on. The entire Tordrillo complex sits on top of a large granite batholith, surrounded by sedimentary deposits that result in fantastic hiking and glacial exploration. Denali National Park, just 30 miles away, offers panoramic views of the largest peak in North America. The Talachulitna River and surrounding mountain lakes are right out the door. In a word—this place is humbling.
