Ketchikan Mountain Lake Trek to Avalanche Chute

Overview
Come join us on a stunning 4-mile roundtrip hike in a small group of up to no more than 7 guests! This tour is led by owner and operator, Tongass Teague. Enjoy connecting with him, each other, and the wilderness of Southeast Alaska.

Hike an improved gravel trail alongside a forested lake below a mountain. Plenty of spots for picture taking. From there, the second mile’s more natural tread is mixed with gravel, large rocks, and roots as you ascend through an old-growth rainforest displaying large specimens of Sitka spruce.

Learn about some of our flora and fauna and hear about our complicated logging history and what it means for our future. Learn how to protect our endangered old-growth forests!

At 1100 feet of elevation, arrive at the bottom of an avalanche chute (devoid of snow in the summer), our destination. Be one of only two tours a day allowed on this cherished trail.

Amazing beautiful hike with a great guide! It rained the entire time and we had a 2 year old hiking with us that cried on the way down haha so I’m sure we’re a memorable group for our guide! We still talk about this hike and how wonderful it was, worth every minute! Loved the hot tea at the top! Unforgettable landscape!

Teague was an easy going, very knowledgeable guide and made the hike great! Rain forest is amazingly lush and the scenery along the way and at the chute was beautiful. Would definitely recommend this experience!
