Tongass National Forest

Come join us on a stunning 3-hour, 4-mile roundtrip hike in a small group of up to 7 guests! Hike an improved gravel trail alongside a forested lake below a mountain. Plenty of spots for picture taking. From there, the second mile’s more natural tread is mixed with gravel, large rocks, and roots as you ascend through an old-growth rainforest displaying large specimens of Sitka spruce. At 1100 feet of elevation, you arrive at the bottom of an avalanche chute, our destination. Be one of only two tours a day allowed on this cherished trail. This tour is led by the owner and operator. Enjoy connecting with him, each other, and the wilderness of Southeast Alaska. Ask about how to practice mindfulness on the hike and in other areas of your life! Ask about our endangered old-growth forests and how to protect them!
