Four Charged Hours: E‑Bike Beach Run, Rainforest Hike and Petroglyphs in Wrangell.
Wrangell’s low shorelines, dense temperate rainforest and tidal flats compress into a compact, striking landscape that’s best felt on two wheels and two feet. On this guided, four‑hour E‑Bike and hike tour you glide through town and along a 5‑mile beachside trail to Rainbow Falls, leave the bikes to hike through mossy forest, then loop past the Stikine River delta and finish at Petroglyph Beach to view ancient rock carvings.
