Meet Teague Whalen. This man's passion is to put his boots where most haven't. In this section, you'll find a comprehensive look at Alaskan hiking in general, as well as insightful guides to his favorite trails and mountains. A day spent exploring our temperate rainforest is a rewarding experience than many locals take for granted, but should be given special consideration for anyone that wants to "lose themselves" in Alaska without actually getting lost. Mr. Whalen's love for the area comes through as he explains how best to make that happen.
Check back often as we are adding more hikes daily.
