Ketchikan Backcountry Driving Tour Through the Tongass

Ketchikan Backcountry Driving Tour Through the Tongass

Overview

This tour is off the beaten path and leaves the pavement and tourists behind for the more rugged mountain dirt roads in the backcountry of the Tongass National Forest, a local favorite drive. The tour is very rural and gains some scenic elevated views depending on weather conditions. We drive through some former logging sites as we explore the need for further conservation of our old-growth forests if we want to continue to breath clean air and if we want to fight climate change and protect one of the United States largest carbon sinks--the Tongass.

We had a fabulous drive through the Tongass rainforest. We learned so much about the history of foresting in Alaska. Wonderful scenery and even saw a black bear. And five deer. highly recommend.

My wife and I had a wonderful and informative 2 h trip with Tigue. The countryside is beautiful and we even saw a deer. This is a perfect tour for seniors who want to see more of Ketchikan with an informative guide who is also very friendly. This was our last trip in Alaska and was a perfect ending for a great non cruise visit..but can also be done by cruisers!!
