Trump Strips Environmental Protections from the Country's Largest National Forest

"Tongass National Forest, which covers much of Southeast Alaska, is the largest national forest in the country, at over 16.7 million acres. It is home to old-growth red and yellow cedar, Sitka spruce, and Western Hemlock, and serves as an important habitat for wild Pacific salmon and grizzly bears. It is also a massive carbon sink. The forest has been protected from logging and road development since 2001, but recent changes in policy have opened it up to these activities, causing concern among environmentalists and local tribes."

Beautiful hike outside of Ketchikan. Unfortunately the fog never lifted so I didn't get the views over the water but it was still a spectacular hike. The trail had lots of flowing water so I recommend shoes that are waterproof.

Beautiful place to visit in Ketchikan I had no idea that this is the second largest rainforest in the world after the Amazon 😵🤯 Ketchikan gets 10-14 FEET of rainfall annually 😵🤯😵🤯 Lush, green, and peaceful We didn't see any bears during our time there but we did see evidence of their presence on the trees that had claw marks on them The tour guide was very personable, knowledgeable, and patient I truly enjoyed learning about totem poles making, edible vs poisonous plants, black bears, bald eagles, salmon runs, and the cute banana slug lol

Beauty abounds here. In this remote part of the world the trees tower out of the water and the deer frolic across the road.

So many trails, so little time. On a cruise so not enough time to explore, we will take the ferry next time and spend a couple of weeks here.

Beautiful hike but not for anyone who has issues walking up stairs or uneven surfaces. Will be too tough. We did the 2 hour hike and while it was nice. I saw everything in the last 20 minutes I wanted to see.

We visited via the WHITE PASS RAILROAD. The narration that we were given during the tour was fabulous. The views were spectacular, and the train was amazing. Being able to ride narrow gage train and see what people had to endure to try to find their gold was incredible.

Lovely one mile hike that is flat enough for a stroller. Make sure to remove your shoes and walk through some shallow water to the base of Nugget Falls
