At the end of 2019, Ground Truth Trekking completed the clearing of the 21-mile Tutka Backdoor Trail! This trail effectively connected Taylor Bay to Tutka Bay. There is over a 6000 ft. elevation gain over the course of this trail, taking you high into the alpine of the Kachemak Mountains! Depending on ability and pace most groups budget between 3 and 5 days to complete this trail. There is a fair level of difficulty in traversing this mountain range as there are sections that require river crossings and minor climbing. Let us take care of the logistics and enjoy your backpacking trip! We offer round trip service for this adventure! Our de Havilland Otter or Cessna 206 will drop you off in Taylor Bay at the trailhead on day one. We can recommend a water taxi you can arrange for a pick up in Tutka Bay. Once you are back in Homer we can assist transportation back to your vehicles.
For more information and pricing give us a call at (907) 235-9191. For a more detailed look at the trail check out the link below!
