Adventure Kart Expedition- Ketchikan, AK
Overview
Explore a side of Ketchikan most visitors never see as you venture deep into the remote backcountry of the Tongass National Forest. This tour combines rugged off‑roading with some of the most dramatic rainforest and ocean views in Southeast Alaska. Your Polaris RZR XP 1000 takes you along a 14‑mile mountain trail carved through towering trees, steep curves, and high‑elevation overlooks with sweeping views of Behm Canal and the Inside Passage.
