We had a great time on our Canoe and Nature Walk in the Ketchikan Rainforest. Colt was very entertaining and also very informative. He really seemed to know his stuff. We also enjoyed the snacks at camp and getting to talk with other staff members.

.Another favorite excursion. Took a small tour bus out to Harriet Hunt Lake. There are about 30 people (give or take a few) in each canoe. There were only 2 canoes so it was another peaceful outing. Lake was like glass - we were blessed with perfect weather. Learned about the Lake, surrounding forest, and it was a nice paddle around the area. Also, There are 3 people on a seat and the middle person does not paddle. So many old trees surround this lake. The nature walk is not a hike. It goes in a circle into the woods and it is on a boardwalk. So if you have issues walking this is something you would still be able to do. After the walk we went back to the sheltered area for jam, salmon spread, bread, snacks, hot chocolate, coffee. One thing you see if a type of lichen (old man's beard) that only grows in the purest of air - so you are breathing good clean air.! If you are looking for something quiet to do, this is for you.

Our guide Bella was amazing! So knowledgeable and friendly. She pointed out many local fungi, explained the history of the area and how natural formations were created, and was genuinely enthusiastic about her work. She made the canoe trip and nature walk a highlight of our trip!
