With over 400 species of land and marine wildlife, Tongass National Forest provides unrivaled opportunities to see eagles, bears, spawning salmon and species that are endangered elsewhere in the United States, such as the brown bear and bald eagle.
The Tongass National Forest covers most of Southeast Alaska and the Inside Passage, and offers an astounding view of ‘wild’ Alaska; lush rainforests, magnificent glaciers and icefields, mountains, waterways and thousands of islands. Over eight million hectares in size, it is the earth’s largest remaining temperate rainforest.
The area offers a host of activities, from dog-sledding on a glacier, hiking through dense forest, alpine meadows or on boardwalk trails through peat bogs, to sailing, canoeing, kayaking or cruising salt water fjords and their myriad of waterways. Plus, of course, opportunities to watch bear, whales or birds in their natural settings. A visit to Tongass is a truly Alaskan experience.
