Embark on an unforgettable journey up the Mount Ripinsky Trail, which offers awe-inspiring views of Lynn Canal on
the way to the north peak at 3,920 feet. This challenging yet scenic trail covers approximately 10 miles from the 7-mile trailhead to Main Street, including a traverse of Peak 3920 and Mount Ripinsky. Plan for an 8 to 10-hour hike to fully enjoy this rewarding experience. Be mindful of snowmelt in early summer and prepare for navigation in challenging weather by carrying a map and compass.

Embark on a 6.8-mile journey along
the Ayiklutu Trail, exploring enchanting rainforests and picturesque beaches tracing the scenic Chilkat Inlet. Glimpse the majestic Davidson and Rainbow Glaciers, keeping an eye out for wildlife like eagles, seals, and whales. Pack binoculars and a windbreaker for gusty conditions. Equip yourself with sturdy shoes, layered clothing, and a supply of water and snacks before the initial 45-minute hike to Moose Meadow—ideal for day hikers and picnics.
