Our guide was Ibra and he was fantastic! So knowledgeable and friendly. We walked for over 3 hours and learned SO much. He gave us rubber shoes to wear over our shoes and walking sticks too. Because we stopped so often for Ibra to point out some flora or fauna, the walk was not strenuous at all. But it WAS on a true trail, not paved or a wide open path like so many "hikes" take you on these days. We saw many signs of wildlife, but no animals. However, we also did not see any other hikers too! Along with our whale watch, this was definitely a highlight of our time in Alaska.
