Guided Trekking in the Tongass National Forest
Tongass Treks was founded with a simple idea: to share the landscape of Southeast Alaska with others in a way that feels personal and authentic.
The company was started by a Sitka born local who grew up exploring the forests, coastlines, and mountains of the Tongass National Forest. Over time, that connection to place was shaped by years of trekking experience both in Alaska and in other parts of the world.
Tongass Treks began four years ago with a desire to create something rooted in home - offering others the opportunity to experience the same sense of scale, solitude, and connection that defines trekking in the Tongass.
Today, that original vision remains at the core of every trek: sharing the landscapes around Sitka, Alaska in a way that reflects deep local knowledge, lived experience, and a genuine connection to this environment.
