    Marshall and Sadie met us right at the boat dock, which was a plus given the chaotic shuttle service into town. They gave us a couple of hike options and our group chose the trail up to Beaver Lake south of Sitka. What a winning decision! The rain forest was stunning, with the trail winding up alongside waterfalls. Our guides were extensively knowledgeable about the forest and surrounding area and were talented, intelligent and interesting young people with fascinating life experiences to share with us as we hiked along. After reaching the lake, and stopping for a snack and photos, we continued on up to the muskeg environment above it, where the views opened to the snow-capped peaks all around. Truly breathtaking. One of the most memorable hikes we've ever taken.

    Hike in Alaska

    There is a portion of the hike that is uphill but well worth it and our guide Brie was accommodating and very knowledgeable. The view at the end of the hike was incredible of the lake and the forest with the mountains in the background. Would recommend it if you like the outdoors.

    Awesome adventure hike

    The adventure hike was beautiful and fairly easy. Marshall was the best guide. He was full of information and very friendly. Thank you Sitka and Marshall!

    It was supposed to be...

    Yanderin_F, Jul 2025
    Wonderful experience! It was supposed to be three hikers total, but two never showed up. The hiking guide, Marshall took me for a solo hike without hesitation. The views were phenomenal and Marshall was very informative about the trail. It was such a lovely experience and great memory.

    Such beautiful scenery

    Joseph_W, Jul 2025
    Many times I expect the photos to not be representative of the experience. In this case it was just as beautiful as the photos. Our guides were so friendly.

    Great hike

    This was a fun hike around Beaver Lake. It had some uphill but was mostly flat and an easy hike. Marshall was a great guide and very informative.

    Nice hike!

    Adventure was excellent. Hill climb was a bit tougher than expected, so be prepared! Good knees and moderate fitness makes it more enjoyable.

    Beautiful hike, would recommend only for experienced hikers.

    Sarah_b, May 2025
    This is a gorgeous hike with very helpful friendly tour guides that gave us lots of cool info on the way there. But it was very difficult (think steep incline while navigating TONS of rocks) and it didn't leave much time to actually see Beaver Lake. I would recommend this hike for people who are avid experienced hikers.
