5.00Great experience. There was a small hiccup with the meeting time, but it all worked out. We met with Lilli for our guided hike, and I had an amazing time. Beautiful area with top notch scenery, even with the rain! Definitely would recommend this excursion but also ensure you're relatively fit because most all of the area is going to have you doing some climbing/hiking UP! ;)
Great Hike

5.00LAURA IS THE BEST from the time of booking Laura communicated in a timely and efficient manner. Our hike was fantastic in spite of less than perfect weather. She had a back up plan ( a visit to the local Fortress of the Bear- which was spectacular ) while we waited out some serious rain. Laura is the perfect guide sharing local history/knowledge , ensuring our safety and comfort at all times - in addition to being friendly and fun. A first class experience for our whole family(parents and adult kids).

5.00Chase was an experienced guide. We had different levels of hiking experience and we did not know the area at all. He was very passionate about Sitka and extremely knowledgeable about the area. The chosen hike was perfect for our group!
Great way to see Sitka

5.00Our hike was incredible, largely in part to our guide, Laura!! Laura was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, patient and wonderful! The hike was beautiful, we even ate fresh berries along the way, can't get much better than that. She tailored the hike to our skill level which was perfect! The scenery was stunning. I would absolutely recommend!!!

5.00Brenna was knowledgeable, fun and an overall great guide 5/5 ! We hiked beaver lake with my family, not too intense but challenging enough to be a great time
This is worth it.

5.00Chase was a knowledgeable and incredibly kind presence. Our hike around Beaver Lake (and in the shadow of Bear Mountain) was perfectly calibrated for intermediate-level hikers—some climbing, enough to get us working for the views, but not too much. Gorgeous Old Growth forest makes you appreciate what’s most precious in this world—a landscape to treasure, enjoy, protect.
