The Experience:-

When you arrive at the Takshanuk Trailhead, your knowledgeable guide will instruct you on how the Kawasaki ATV Mules operate. If your prefer not to drive, no problem. We can accommodate those who just want to enjoy the ride. You will be provided with a safety briefing and details about driving our well-constructed trails. Then, let your tour begin....

Start your journey up the trail. Enjoy the lush forest of this lower portion of the trail and the occasional views as your guide narrates the tour giving descriptions of the plant life, geography and our wildlife neighbors.

First stop is our Rustic Cabin at 1100 feet in elevation. Let your eyes take in the sweeping mountain views. Enjoy a short break by the warm fireplace with lemonade, coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate and fresh-our-of-the-oven cookies,. Restrooms are available.

Drive across a log bridge over one of the many mountain streams along the way.

Stop at a magnificent waterfall for photos and a few moments to enjoy the fresh mountain air.

Next stop is a mountain lake with water so clear you can see the bottom. When the season is right, take a moment to sample wild Alaska blueberries!

As you continue to the end of the trail at 1500 feet, be prepared to catch your breath for the stunning vista of Chilkoot Lake and the Upper Lynn Canal.

The return portion of your tour will take you back to our Rustic Cabin where you will indulge in a deliciously prepared halibut and BBQ chicken meal. Vegetarian meals are available with a 24-hour notice.

After a great meal with time to relax and take a break in the cabin, you will make your way back to the trailhead
