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.

My mother and I embarked on an Alaskan cruise, and while in Ketchikan, I sought out a unique experience beyond the standard ship offerings. Our decision led us to Teague, who greeted us punctually at the designated spot, holding a sign. To our delightful surprise, it turned out to be an exclusive tour just for us! Our journey took us up the majestic Tongass Mountain, where we were treated to breathtaking views. Teague ensured we had ample opportunities to capture these moments, both inside and outside the vehicle. Not only was he incredibly considerate, especially towards my mother's back issues, ensuring her comfort at every step, but he also drove with utmost care. His vast knowledge and captivating stories about the area enriched our experience manifold. This tour with Teague was the highlight of our trip, and his thoughtful gesture of asking where we'd like to be dropped off was the cherry on top. If you're in Ketchikan, don't miss out on this exceptional tour!
