Wrangell’s waterfall

Take a short drive through town and head to the trailhead via Zimovia Highway. This steep, narrow trail winds through the Tongass National Forest, the world’s largest temperate rainforest. Along the way, you will have fantastic photo opportunities of the breathtaking Rainbow Falls. On a clear day, you can even see the Inside Passage and its islands. As you walk, your guide will share their knowledge of the local flora, fauna, and people.
