Guide's Choice Adventure Hike

World-Class Hiking in Juneau! Glacial Valleys and Forested Mountains! Cascading Waterfalls and Alpine Meadows!

Put on your hiking boots, fill your lungs with fresh air, and experience a day of world-class hiking. The pace will be brisk, the day unforgettable. Cascading waterfalls, serene alpine meadows, and quiet forest glens are just a few of the treasured places reached only on foot. Along the way your naturalist/guide will provide knowledge and perspective on the region's natural and cultural history, and will share his or her favorite local stories.

Before leaving downtown, your guide will select the trail best suited for the day's hiking conditions. Weather will be of particular consideration; in this region of mountains and fiords, conditions can vary quickly and dramatically. You may find yourself hiking high above a shimmering glacier lake, or along a rushing mountain stream. The forest is thick at times, nearly impenetrable except for the pathway. During much of the hike the views are panoramic, encompassing expanses of glacier-carved wilderness. There are many opportunities for photography along the trail, and frequent interpretive stops.

Join us as we, in the words of John Muir, "climb the mountains and get their good tidings". Whether you are interested in violets or eagles, geology or the rainforest, this adventurous hike will provide you with great exercise and lasting memories of Alaska.
