Great little trail through TONGASS National Forest. Our guide Marshall was very knowledgeable about the area, history and culture. If you are looking for a quick snapshot of the forest, this is a great start. Super easy trail and many beautiful views.

Great hike - amazing foliage. Chris was our guide and he was knowledgeable and friendly. We had a mix up with the time. Our ticket said 2PM but they thought it was 11 and called us to ask where we were. They honored our time and we got a private hike.
