A list of potential campsites, stopping points, scenic highlights, and recreational opportunities is included here. It is described as a trip departing south out of Ketchikan. Plan extra days for unpredictable and rapidly changing weather conditions such as heavy rain, wind, fog, and rough seas. The weather can change dramatically within a short period of time. Be ready for anything, including mist, rain, high winds, and sun.
Wind direction can also change dramatically when entering a fjord or coming around points.
Rain gear, a durable tent, and extra dry clothes are necessities for this trip. There are outhouses at all the cabins and at Nooya, Punchbowl, and Winstanley shelters. There are separate Recreation Opportunity Guides available for each cabin and trail. Review these for specific information about any locations you would like to visit. There are fresh water sources near all the recommended campsites, unless otherwise noted.
