Immerse yourself in Alaska’s magnificent natural beauty and learn about native flora and fauna on a four-mile trek through Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States. Named after the Tongass Clan of the Tlingit Indians, this temperate rainforest stretches 17 million acres across most of Southeast Alaska and surrounds the Inside Passage. On foot you’ll ascend from sea level up 300 feet elevation on a cove loop across boardwalks, stairways and moss-covered forest trails that wind between towering hemlock, spruce and cedar trees. Listen along as your naturalist guide expounds on the area’s thriving ecosystem, indigenous heritage and local flora. As you venture through a bird sanctuary and fish estuary, keep your eye out for native wildlife. This outdoor adventure packs in plenty of photo stops, scenic panoramas and pure, wild nature.
