Crikey - I hate disclaimers! Given the fact we’re broke anyway, I wanted to assure we all understand the Show, the Website and it’s contents. We’re all here to have fun and get out and enjoy Alaska - So let’s get this out of the way.

Alaska Podshow’s “Hike of the Week”

Short Version Warning: Traveling in Alaska’s backcountry can be extremely dangerous and can lead to serious injury or death.  This website is only intended as an aid and cannot guarantee safety.  No trail guide or the Alaska Podshow team member can be completely accurate so hikers must accept and judge for themselves the dangers posed by each trip they choose to undertake. By using this website you accept the risk and sole responsibility for your safety and the safety of those you affect.  I urge you use all available resources  to educate yourself on the particular hikes you will be on as well as general wilderness safety and first aid.

Long Version
The author(s) and the Alaska Podshow do not endorse or recommend one outdoor company, guide service, business, gear, services, transportation accommodations over another.

While hiking, climbing, or in any outdoor activity or sport (especially in Alaska) are all fun, they are also quite hazardous in the wrong conditions or with inadequete preparations. The information in this website, audio files, and videos is provided solely for your educational use in planning for and carrying out your next hiking trip, and SHOULD NOT be used as a substitute for actual training or experience. The author(s) and producer(s) of this website and it’s contents and the Alaska Podshow assume no liability for an individual’s use of or reliance upon any material contained herein.

Before venturing out on a hike, climb, camping or recreation activity into the back country, one should seek some basic, advanced, or professional lessons in survival, traveling, camping and safety. While most of the mountains, trails, and hike mentioned in the Alaska Podshow “Hike of the Week” may appear easily traveled in our video podcasts, videos, audio files, pictures, or within the website - they can be quite dangerous. Check with guide services, state parks, national park service, or other back country authorities regarding the conditions before beginning your trip.

And remember, if you are out on a hike or participating in any outdoor activity in Alaska, be prepared! Alaska is a wild and often unforgiving place, so the more you know, the more fun you’ll have safely. The golden rule of climbing - If you can’t summit, turn back and live for another day. Finally, please help keep Alaska pure and clean by not littering. Take along a plastic or mesh bag for your trash and debris.
