Walk of Reverence FAQs

Share an interpretive adventure hiking along the ancient bear trails. We strive for something more than a ‘bear tour’. Our hope is to “re-wild your Spirit” – immersing you in some of the most ecologically & culturally significant, salmon & grizzly bear habitat that remains on earth.

Our walks accommodate various fitness levels. We follow ancient bear trails which are naturally well-worn paths. The terrain is generally moderate with some uneven ground. We adjust pace and distance based on group abilities.
