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.

Our Ketchikan Mountain Lake Hiking to Avalanche Chute was straneous hiking, but glad I made it with my son and daughters. Hiking in the Tongass National Forest, was an amazing experience, filled with magnificent trees and nature. Our guide Teague, was incredibly helpful in the difficult areas and made the hike feel like an adventure with a friend. When we reach the top, he offered us organic peppermint hot tea, which was a great touch. Highly recommended!

10+ tour!! My wife and I booked this tour after reading positive reviews, never visiting Alaska before. It exceeded our expectations. Teague our tour guide and owner was amazing !! Cannot say enough good things: he was very knowledgeable and he was extremely easy to talk to. The avalanche chute was such a great site. I strongly suggest this hike.
