Discover the old-growth forests of Tongass National Forest on this trek that begins with pickup in Ketchikan. Join a small group and hike through an Alaska State Park and the forest to find enchanting old-growth rain forests of Sitka spruce and western red cedar. Walk along a river and catch sight of a few waterfalls in the area.
Come join us on a lovely 3.6-mile roundtrip hike through an Alaska State Park into the Tongass National Forest. Enjoy a small group of up to 7 guests! First relax on the 40-minute scenic drive to the end of the road. Then hike an improved gravel trail alongside a river with glimpses of waterfalls. Walk through a magical old-growth rainforest displaying impressive specimens of Sitka spruce and western red cedar.
Besides some stairs at the beginning of the hike, the trail flattens out and winds along the river valley below a ridge. 1 mile down the trail, our destination is a stone bench beside a serene bow in the river, where we can pause and enjoy one another and the peace and quiet.
This tour is led by owner and operator, Tongass Teague. 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!
