Ketchikan Magical Old-Growth Creek Trek Guided Tour

Ketchikan Magical Old-Growth Creek Trek Guided Tour

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!

Teague was the perfect guide. Knowledgeable, friendly, thoughtful, helpful. We did a hike through the old growth area, and Teague gave us a good sense of history and of current ecological concerns. This was probably our best tour ( and we did lots!)

Our cruise ship docked at berth 4 which was just a short walk to meet Teague for transportation. Very easy to meet up. It was a beautiful day for a hike! Teague was very knowledgeable and added to the experience with information about the local flora and fauna. We had a wonderful time. Thanks Teague! Highly recommend this hike with Teague!
