Put on your hiking boots and fill your lungs with fresh air as you experience a day of world-class hiking. With more miles of trails than roads, Juneau is the place for an adventurous day hike. Your small group (limited to 12 people per guide) is led by a certified interpretive guide who chooses the trail to best suit the group's ability and the day's hiking conditions.
Hike in the Mendenhall Glacier National Recreation Area on a secluded trail with several glacier views. Witness cascading waterfalls, serene meadows, and quiet forest glens -- just a few of the treasured places that can be reached only on foot. Your experienced guide will provide stories and insights on the Tongass National Forest -- the world's largest remaining temperate rain forest -- its fascinating wildlife, glacially-carved landscapes and lush foliage. A variety of animal species inhabit this place, and your guide will help you keep a lookout for any sign along the trail; perhaps you will discover a shy porcupine or pause to listen to the call of an Arctic tern.
Expect a refreshing outing at a moderate pace with many opportunities for photography and lasting memories of Alaska.
