We finally had a blue sky day in Alaska and what an amazing way to celebrate hiking with Teague in the Tongass NF. Yes there were steep parts but the pace was steady and our guide was kindly and attentive. Tongass is a place apart. It has air that tastes like your favorite ice cream and green mossy views to calm any stressed soul. It was truly memorable to be in amongst the ferns, the dabbled sunlight, the fallen moss covered giant trees and to learn about the forest, the people of the Tongass and to hike it under blue skies in Alaska. Oh so worth all the effort!

Our Ketchikan Mountain Lake Hiking to Avalanche Chute was straneous hiking, but glad I made it with my son and daughters. Hiking in the Tongass National Forest, was an amazing experience, filled with magnificent trees and nature. Our guide Teague, was incredibly helpful in the difficult areas and made the hike feel like an adventure with a friend. When we reach the top, he offered us organic peppermint hot tea, which was a great touch. Highly recommended!

10+ tour!! My wife and I booked this tour after reading positive reviews, never visiting Alaska before. It exceeded our expectations. Teague our tour guide and owner was amazing !! Cannot say enough good things: he was very knowledgeable and he was extremely easy to talk to. The avalanche chute was such a great site. I strongly suggest this hike.

Wonderful hiking experience with Teague. On the day we went it was pouring rain however checked to make sure I was still up for a hike. ( I was). He made sure I was safe throughout including hiking at my pace. It was a wonderful experience and fantastic views! Thanks again

I am so grateful that we found this excursion and booked it! It was the best of our entire vacation. We could have probably found a hike and gone on our own- but would have missed out on the knowledge that Teague was able to share. He just made it so easy, he picked us up, took us to the trail, had hiking poles, tea and water. He was able to evaluate how each hiker was doing and adjusted as needed. He brought everyone into the conversation and provided such great knowledge of the area. If we come back to the area- Teague will be the first person we call!

Teague is the best!!! Got to enjoy the temperate rainforests of Ketchikan as we hiked up to an Avalanche Chute. Teague was personal, funny, a wealth of knowledge on the local flora and fauna, and made our hike a great experience. Highly recommend!!!

Our guide was amazing; even had some hot Peppermint Tea at the top of the Mtn for us. The eco system in the forest was impressive
