Tom Faussett owns and operates Hunter Creek Adventures from the 25 acre Knik Valley parcel he purchased and developed more than a decade ago. Originally a city slicker, Tom discovered his love for the wilderness in general and for Alaska specifically, many years before. Tom says he found his place in life when he settled in the Hunter Creek area. His skills as a builder paid the mortgage for a few years as his wilderness savvy grew and he worked to acquire gear and experience, in pursuit of outdoor adventure. His perpetually expanding knowledge of the outdoors and awareness of environmental issues make him an exceptionally stimulating guide with a wealth of information he is anxious to share with curious visitors. His infectious enthusiasm for Alaska and the great outdoors make all Hunter Creek Tours the very finest available anywhere in Alaska. The quality of his character and his integrity color your journey up the Knik River. Tom is more than happy to slow down to give you ample opportunity to soak up the awe inspiring surroundings. Tom is thrilled to answer all of your questions in lively conversation and equally satisfied to sit in silence and allow you your personal time visiting with our creator in one of the most spectacular regions in all of Alaska. By the end of your Knik Glacier Adventure you will feel a kinship with Tom and a profound appreciation for the valley and the mighty ice river that created it.
