Ketchikan Mountain Lake Trek To Avalanche Chute
3 Hours | 4 Miles
What to Expect
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, our destination. Be one of only two tours a day allowed on this cherished trail.
Includes
Boxed water.
Trekking poles available to borrow (if desired).
Rain ponchos (if needed).
Masks for vehicle transportation (if desired).
Restrictions
This hike can be considered somewhat strenuous and is for those who are in relatively good shape and enjoy exercise and hiking up elevated, uneven terrain. Not recommended for those who lead mostly a sedentary life or who have health issues or injuries.
Though the trailhead is only a ten-minute drive from Berth 3, this is a rural hike. No facilities are available at the trailhead or along the trail. If needed, public restrooms are available at Berth 3 before or after the tour. However, if there is a bathroom emergency, we have toilet paper and military waste kits--Wag Bags--one can use and cart out. This is a leave-no-trace excursion, including no littering or food left behind. This is also a tobacco-free, drug-free, and alcohol-free excursion.
Duration
3 Hours. 4 Miles.
