Tongass Teague LLC is a Ketchikan, Alaska guide company offering owner-led backcountry and hiking tours in the Tongass National Forest. Founded and operated by Tongass Teague, the business runs small-group and private experiences that highlight Southeast Alaska’s landscapes, ecology, and logging history. Tours include guided 4x4 SUV drives that leave the pavement for mountain dirt roads and elevated viewpoints, two scenic mountain-lake treks that lead to an avalanche chute, a four-hour Alpine Overlook Adventure Trek, and fully customizable private excursions for photography, totem-pole viewing, or intimate ceremonies such as waterfall-front wedding moments. Each itinerary emphasizes education about local flora and fauna, photo stops, and respectful access to cherished trails. Group sizes are intentionally limited — some hikes accept no more than seven guests — and many offerings are private by design, allowing a personalized pace and stronger connection to the wilderness. Guides focus on interpretive narration about Sitka spruce forests, wildlife sightings, and the area’s complicated logging past, while underscoring conservation considerations for the Tongass. Logistics are straightforward for Ketchikan visitors: tours operate from local meeting points and vary in length from two-hour SUV drives to four-hour alpine treks. Tongass Teague LLC presents an alternative to typical sightseeing by combining backcountry driving, accessible trail hiking, and custom private experiences that prioritize safety, local knowledge, and meaningful time outdoors in Southeast Alaska.
