What To Expect

Tongass National Forest

Come join us on a stunning 5.5-mile roundtrip hike in a small group of up to no more than 7 guests! 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 how to protect our old growth forests! Hike an improved gravel trail alongside a forested lake below a mountain. 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 and western hemlock. 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 an alpine overlook at 1650 feet, our destination. Be one of only two tours a day allowed on this cherished trail.

What a great experience! Teague is a very engaging and knowledgeable guide. He quickly ascertained my capabilities, and set the pace accordingly. I learned lot about the trees, plants, and berries. I would have no reservations recommending Teague!
Best experience in my entire Alaska holiday

Was an amazing solo/private hike! T will go at the pace you set. Does not push to go beyond your level of hiking experience or not. Sweet, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. Breathtaking views and a time to reflect on life/situations/circumstances. Take this tour if you want an amazing view of nature.
Great guided hike with beautiful views!
