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.

The SUV tour with Teague was wonderful. He was very professional and knowledgeable on the history of the Tongass National Forest and Ketchikan. He asked where we wanted to stop and took our pictures. We would definitely take his tour again and highly recommend the Backcountry Driving tour with Teague.

Teague was an absolute pleasure to spend out time with touring the back country around Ketchikan. We recommend Teague!

My wife and I stayed in Ketchikan for 10 days and did about every tour available. Most were excellent. This was special. This was the last of six tours/activities we schedule before we were to leave and I wanted something different to round up our vacation. Most of the other tours could only skim over certain things and I was filled up with questions about Alaska and Ketchikan. Getting answers in the midst of these tours among dozens of other tourist proved pretty much impossible. I schedule a private tour with Teague and I'm very happy I did this. We went at our own pace, stopped where we wanted, and we got every one of our million questions answered. I approached Teague a couple of days before concerned about possibly duplicating some of the ground covered by two other tours we did earlier in the week. He was more than accommodating and was able to map out a unique tour that covered areas we would not have seen otherwise. Teague's tour was a wonderful way to finish a wonderful vacation.
