A hiker’s challenge 

Enjoy a scenic drive through Fort Seward and along the Haines Peninsula to the Mt. Riley’s trailhead. The hike begins with rolling terrain through temperate rainforest before winding up the mountain. The goal is the summit, which promises a fantastic 360-degree view of the Lynn Canal and beyond. Along the way, your guide will talk about native flora and fauna, and you’ll stop for a picnic lunch.
