Come join a stunning 4-mile round-trip hike in a small group of no more than 7 people! Hike an improved gravel trail alongside a forested lake below a mountain, where there will be plenty of spots for picture taking. From there, the second mile's more natural tread is mixed with gravel, large rocks, and roots as you ascend through an old-growth rainforest displaying large Sitka spruce.
At 1100 feet of elevation, we will arrive at our destination - the bottom of an avalanche chute. There are only two tours allowed on this cherished trail per day, making this a truly unique experience. The local tour guide will share information about some of the flora and fauna, and you'll also hear about the complicated logging history and what it means for our future. You may ask how to practice mindfulness and connect with your surroundings during the hike, allowing you to take these skills into other areas of your life.
Please Note: This is a rural hike and there are no facilities at the trailhead, along the trail, or at the beach. This is a leave-no-trace, tobacco-free, drug-free, and alcohol-free excursion.
