Overview

Come join us on a lovely 3.6-mile roundtrip hike through an Alaska State Park into the Tongass National Forest. Enjoy a small group of up to 7 guests! First relax on the 40-minute scenic drive to the end of the road. Then hike an improved gravel trail alongside a river with glimpses of waterfalls. Walk through a magical old-growth rainforest displaying impressive specimens of Sitka spruce and western red cedar fencing in the trail.

Besides some stairs at the beginning of the hike, the trail flattens out and winds along the river valley below a ridge. 1 mile down the trail, our destination is a stone bench beside a serene bow in the river, where we can pause and enjoy one another and the peace and quiet.

This tour is led by owner and operator, Tongass Teague. Enjoy connecting with him, each other, and the wilderness of Southeast Alaska. Ask about practicing mindfulness! Ask about our endangered old-growth forests and how to protect them!

My 7 year old daughter and I went on this hike in October 2023. It was beautiful. The guide picked us up at our cruise ship port, and was prepared with a booster seat, masks, water and ponchos. Could not have been easier. His vehicle was cleaner than mine ever will be (Ha!) in addition to his knowledge, he graciously took photos, offered us mint tea at a break, and was overall very attentive and kind.

We really enjoyed this tour and highly recommended for going off the beaten path and enjoying the beautiful Tongass forest. Our guide Teague was excellent and very knowledgeable showing us some amazing trees and scenic points on our hike. He was very friendly and very chill person making the hike most enjoyable. A must do when you visit Ketchikan!

Beautiful morning hike. We loved the hike and really enjoyed Teague. It was a nice break from the standard cruise excursion.

The reviews don't lie. We came across Teague after noting being super excited with the cruise ship excursion (Or they booked up super fast) and I'm so happy we ended up hiking with him. Finding the pick up point was easy and then we got to have a private hike down Lunch Creek trail. Had lots of information for us in the area, forest, and history. Got to see Salmon, seals, and eagles so 100% a win of a hike and trip. Requested to get dropped off at Creek Street then just walked/shopped our way back to ship.
