A Legacy of Adventure Since the 1950s
Preserving Tradition
Today Chris & Deb Curnow proudly carry on the family legacy and tradition, providing an authentic Alaskan experience to guests from around the world. We have ridden and packed our horses on trails from Healy over Cody Pass into the Wood River drainage for decades. These intense treks take 4 to 5 days/nights. Experienced repeat Trailblazers have made this journey multiple years, making it part of their legacy.
Deep-Rooted History Preserving Alaska’s Wilderness
Bill Waugaman was recognized for being a good steward of Alaska’s wildlife and land. The State of Alaska named a mountain in his honor for his contributions. “Waugaman Mountain” overlooks the property at Wood River Camp.
Alaska Trailblazers has a rich history dating back to before Statehood. Bill & Flora Waugaman (Deb’s parents)
established several camps in the Wood River drainage as exclusive hunting and recreation camps. Horseback
or bush planes were the only means of access as it remains today. The Wood River Camp was established in
1960 and has been used for both hunting and horse pack trips every year since. Guest activities are enjoyed separately with no overlap.
