Private Ketchikan Hike - Was an amazing solo/private hike! T will go at the pace you set. Does not push to go beyond your level of hiking experience or not. Sweet, enthusiastic and extremely knowledgeable. Breathtaking views and a time to reflect on life/situations/circumstances. Take this tour if you want an amazing view of nature.
