Tongass National Forest

The Tongass National Forest covers more than 75 percent of the Southeast. It's the world's biggest temperate rainforest, and the foggy, mossy, lushly green forests contribute much to the region's mystical ambiance. Hike or sled a glacier, wander along boardwalk pathways, learn about fisheries management, fish in streams or the ocean, or unwind in a lonely lodge. Juneau is the largest city in the area.

Tongass National Forest symbolizes truly wild Alaska, with opportunities to observe bears, eagles, and salmon, as well as to take a sled-dog ride across a glacier, wander along boardwalk paths, and fish in the ocean.
