Guide was very knowledgeable and gave a great history of Sitka. Also gave great explanation of all the plant life. Water bottles and snacks were provided at the halfway point of the hike.

It was a nice 4 mile hike with a mild elevation change. Our guide was nice. The biggest downside was the opportunity cost. There were other excursion that offered more exciting wildlife viewing.
Awesome hike for kids

Great short hike with knowledgeable guide. Perfect for young kids and our guide was well prepared with town history, tips on what berries we could eat (the kids loved the berries), and general information about the geography.
Worth every penny! Great experience!
