Put on your hiking boots, fill your lungs with fresh air, and experience a day of world-class hiking. The pace will be brisk, the day unforgettable. Cascading waterfalls, quiet forest glens, and breath taking glacier views are just a few of the treasured places reached only on foot. Along the way your naturalist guide will provide knowledge and perspective on the region`s natural and cultural history, and will share some of his or her favorite local stories.
Before leaving downtown, your guide will select the trail best suited for the day's hiking conditions. Weather will be of particular consideration; in this region of mountains and fjords, conditions can vary quickly and dramatically. You may find yourself hiking high above a shimmering glacial lake or along the mossy covered glacier moraine. Explore this lush habitat and learn more about the significance and secrets of the Tongass National Forest.
During much of the hike the views are panoramic, encompassing expanses of glacier-carved wilderness.
