Rainbird Hiking Trail
Rainbird Hiking Trail offers an exciting and safe environment with Zipline, Role-Playing, VR Games. A great place for kids and families. Families love visiting for its fun-filled experience.
This trail takes you through a beautiful, lush forest with large trees, babbling streams, and good views of Pennock Island, parts of Ketchikan, and surrounding mountains. Most trail apps mark this as an easy trail although I’d say it’s more moderate . Be prepared for steep hills, tree roots, slippery rocks in some areas – sturdy footwear and hiking poles are recommended. I didn’t use hiking poles and got around fine but I could see how they could be useful. The best lookout point is closer to the South access of the trail – there’s a clearing with a short wood fence right next to the trail. You can walk to the South access of the trail from the cruise port, or the bus route also goes by both the North and South access points of the trail. We had a rental car so started at the UAS campus access point where you can park within the University’s parking lot.
