MUSHROOM HUNTING

Gustavus Alaska is not lacking in scenery being a cozy small town. One can feel like a local as you walk down the street waving at neighbors and other guests of Gustavus.

These trails are not only filled with spectacular wildlife which should be observed with respect and caution; but also provide a wilderness so rich and beautiful one could admire the scenery for hours. Our forests are also filled with amazing fungi along with other ecological wonders that can be observed and appreciated. Remember, it is important to be knowledgeable about mushrooms and plant life as to avoid poisonous specimens.

"Having worked as a charter boat captain in some of the worlds hottest fishing destinations, I can tell that Gustavus is not to be missed! The fun and excitement never stop! Something is always happening (or about to) and we like to keep it that way."
