Beautiful and well maintained, Rain Forest Trail as it traverses through the Tongass National Forest, is suitable for children and families.

With more than a hundred hiking trails in Juneau, the Rain Forest Trail, while relatively short, offers a unique variety of different habitats. Winding beneath the old growth forest of towering spruce, pine and hemlock, it then passes through a pine bog and wetlands where the trees change to newer growth alder. Beyond the trail, a boardwalk stretches over an old remnant pond from a large, inactive beaver dam.

As it gradually slants downward, hikers descend to the rocky beach at the north end of Douglas Island on the shores of Glacier Bay. Here, hikers are rewarded with some of the most panoramic views in the Juneau area of snowcapped mountains and distant glaciers. Across the bay are Chichagof Island and Admiralty Island, two of the largest islands in the Alexander Archipelago.
