 Join
an experienced Alaskan trail guide for a walk through
natural, unspoiled beauty in the coastal rain forest
on a remote island in the Tongass National Forest. The
trail takes you through a beautiful old growth forest,
by way of a secluded beach, and is mostly boardwalk,
about one-mile in length and well maintained.
Follow your knowledgeable guide
through this ancient forest and learn about botanic
species native to this region, like Western red cedar
and yellow cedar that early Natives were so dependent
upon for spiritual enrichment, shelter and transportation,
and how Sitka spruce was instrumental in the construction
of Howard Hughes’ famous Spruce Goose and other
early vintage fighter planes.
After hiking this gently
sloped historic trail, enjoy an Alaskan snack then
take some time to explore the natural
beauty around you. A motorized rigid hull inflatable
Seahawk provides a short, but exciting cruise along
the coast of Clover Passage. Whales, Stellar sea lions,
harbor
seals, porpoise, bald eagles and migrating seabirds
may be spotted on this route.
Guide,
round trip transfer, quality raingear, life jackets
and snack.
