We walk about 1.5 miles at an easy, relaxed pace. There are a few uneven sections with tree roots and natural trails, but this is not a strenuous hike.

Juneau likes to keep us guessing, so layers are your best friend.
I recommend comfortable walking shoes, a rain jacket, and clothes you'll be happy exploring in. Even on misty days, the forest is absolutely magical, and honestly, some of my favorite tours have happened in a little rain.
