About
PERFECT FOR CRUISE PASSENGERS
The gentle giant of the Tongass National Forest will capture your heart.
LOCAL WILDLIFE & TREES:
On this tour, you will spot bald eagles in the trees and (if the season is right) salmon spawning in the river.
Wild berries along the path: edible and clean. Our guides are trained to recognize all local berries and mushrooms, many of which you can harvest!
EXPERIENCE THE RAINFOREST:
We will talk about the way the mountains, temperate rainforest, and ocean have been traditionally used, and are still used today, for subsistence, foraging & hunting by the Tlingits.
HIKE SAFELY:
Our guide will give a safety briefing before the tour. We monitor trail conditions to ensure that these hikes are completely safe. The guides have years of experience on these trails.
