About

Experience the awe-inspiring beauty of nature on our Lunch Creek Trail hike with Island Girl Hiking Co. This easy-to-moderate trail features primitive stairs, a boardwalk, and natural tread, perfect for unwinding and taking in stunning surroundings. Follow along Lunch Creek and discover waterfalls, giant red cedar, hemlock, and Sitka spruce, providing ample photo opportunities and spots to relax and breathe deeply.

Led by the owner, Dawn, this hike through the Tongass National Forest will immerse you in nature and allow you to let go of stress. Learn about the importance of preserving this national treasure while breathing in the fresh air and connecting with nature.

While this trail is easy to moderate, it is unpaved. This is not recommended for those who have health issues or injuries that require help or frequent stopping. This trail does have hills and loose gravel.

Check the weather before arriving in port.
