The Experience
What your day looks like
Come join us on a private tour for a stunning 5.5-mile roundtrip hike! Enjoy connecting with the guide and the wilderness of Southeast Alaska. Hike an improved gravel trail alongside a forested lake below a mountain. There are 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. Learn about some of our flora and fauna, hear about our complicated logging history, and learn what it means for our future. Learn how to protect our endangered old-growth forests. At 1100 feet of elevation, you arrive at the bottom of an avalanche chute. The next 3/4 of a mile ascends another 550 feet to a panoramic alpine overlook at 1650 feet, our destination. Be one of only two tours a day allowed on this cherished trail.
