Sitka Bike & Hike

OVERVIEW

This guided tour of the south end of Sitka is geared for those guests who want to see a part of Sitka that visitors rarely experience, get some exercise and enjoy the beautiful landscape and fresh air that Alaska has to offer. You’ll bike along the coastal road with breathtaking ocean vistas and stunning Silver Bay for about two miles. Upon arrival to the trail head, you’ll hike in the world's largest temperate rain forest. Along the way, guides will share their knowledge of flora and fauna as well as local history and culture with you. During your hike enjoy waterfalls, streams, and the beauty of the temperate rainforest. The pace of the hike is set by guests and typically one to two miles in length. Guests then return to their cycles for the 2-mile ride back to the bike center, where a shuttle will return them to the pier. All riders are required to wear a provided helmet. We recommend comfortable shoes and clothing.
