(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Fortress of the Bear
Your own dedicated tour guide will take you through the Fortress of the Bear, personally, giving you undivided attention in addition to the Fortress staff to answer any questions along the way. We have dedicated appointment times to avoid the large bus crowds, enhancing the unique, local, insight, and personal service only available in our small-group tours.
Silver Bay overlook is a majestic view of the beauty of a favorite place for Sitka residents. Surrounded by high mountain peaks, the silver glistening of the water in the bay where it gets its name is truly a sight. Please look for whales, often seen as they travel through the area.
Although we vary our tours by the day, choosing the best location for the time of year, seasonal wildlife viewing opportunities, or weather, Thimbleberry Lake trail and waterfall is a popular stop for our tours. Our expert guide will take you on a journey through the enchanting Tongass National Forest along the Thimbleberry trail hike. On this small journey we will wind through the forest, look down from the top of the waterfall and continue up to Thimbleberry lake where we will stop for photos with the most beautiful backdrop. The hiking trail is graded and not difficult to manage for even inexperienced hikers. Bumble Expeditions LLC is a licensed commercial guide with access from the National Forest Service for this location
