Ted Grudowski Built in 1923, the Taku Lodge proves Alaskan history is alive today in this unique part of the world. Within one day we can experience bright sun, heavy rain and everything in between. This doesn't stop the people of Southeast Alaska, so don't let it stop you either. Dress in layers, bring a raincoat and always wear comfortable shoes. Entrance onto the planes requires negotiating five to six ladder-like steps.
Some mobility is required.
Don't forget to bring sunglasses, your camera and plenty of film. The Taku Lodge has been a piece of solitude and a home away from home for owner Ken Ward and family throughout the years.
