Our final hike at Glacier Bay National Park during our August 2022 visit was the Tlingit Trail. This ½-mile trail is rated easy. The trail starts at the Ranger Station or the Healing Totem Pole and continues parallel to the shore all the way to Park Road near park headquarters. Instead of hiking the trail twice, we hiked about half the distance on the trail and about halfway along the shore for a one-mile hike. The trail is wide and level from the Healing Totem Pole to Xunaa Shuká Hít, the Huna Tribal House. Beyond that, it devolves into a footpath.
