Sitka
Step into the lush wilderness of Southeast Alaska on a private guided walk through the Tongass National Forest. Accompanied by your local naturalist guide, you'll follow scenic rainforest trails while discovering the rich ecosystem that makes Sitka so unique. Learn how salmon sustain both the local environment and community, identify native plants traditionally used for food and medicine, and gain insight into life on a remote Alaskan island.
As you explore, your guide will share stories about the wildlife that call this rainforest home, including bears, bald eagles, Sitka black-tailed deer, and spawning salmon. Depending on the season, you may also encounter wild berries, colorful mushrooms, vibrant salmon runs, or fascinating intertidal marine life. With a private guide tailoring the experience to your interests, this immersive nature walk offers a deeper connection to Sitka's landscapes, wildlife, and culture.
