Step into Alaska on this fully guided nature hike! Juneau is the place for switch-backing through the canopy of Alaska's Tongass National Forest to views of the magnificent Mendenhall Glacier. Your professional guides will select the trail best suited for your group’s ability and the day’s hiking conditions. Experience cascading waterfalls, serene meadows and quiet forest glens. During much of the hike, the views are panoramic, encompassing expanses of glacier-carved wilderness. Your guide will help you keep a look out for signs of animals and wildlife encountered along the trail. Perhaps you'll discover a hidden porcupine or hear the song of a hermit thrush. Whether you're interested in wildflowers or wildlife, scenery or activity, expect a refreshing outing with many opportunities for photography and lasting memories of Alaska.
