Tongass Botanical Nature Walk
Step beneath towering spruce and hemlock trees as you begin an unforgettable journey through the heart of southeast Alaska's Tongass Rainforest. Embark on a 1.25-mile Forest and Muskeg Walk along a well-maintained gravel path, winding through a landscape teeming with life. Guided by an expert in ethnobotany, you'll uncover the ancient relationship between native peoples and the plants that sustained them, from mosses underfoot to the spruce overhead. Learn to recognize edible berries, medicinal plants, and trees that have been essential to survival for generations. The serene muskeg, rich forest layers, and crisp air provide the perfect backdrop for this immersive experience.

What you will see along the way:
Explore the heart of the Tongass National Forest, the largest national forest in the United States and part of the world's largest temperate rainforest, on your guided Forest and Muskeg nature walk. Spanning nearly 17 million acres, the Tongass is a vast, lush wilderness teeming with life and natural beauty. Towering Sitka spruce, western hemlock, red cedar, and alder trees line the road. Beneath them, the forest floor is carpeted with thick beds of moss, wildflowers, and seasonal berries. Keep an eye out for local wildlife, including bald eagles soaring overhead.
