Welcome to the Tongass National Forest - America's largest,
wettest and wildest. Southeast Alaska is a land shaped by fire, ice, and water.
The region's geologic history, young soils "growing" after retreating
glaciers left scoured rock, and the cool, wet climate have produced the Tongass
of today: where water could drain, a land with towering trees, where water was
trapped, stunted platns in the peat; a land of ice fields, bare rock, alpine
meadows, and vast temperate rain forest.
