About This Trail

Titan Trail is a hiking route located just north of Hyder, Alaska, on the British Columbia–Alaska border near Stewart, BC. The trail winds through dense, old-growth coastal forest within the Tongass National Forest, crossing several small streams along the way. One of its highlights is a scenic view over the Salmon River valley.

The trailhead sits near the Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site one of the region's best-known bear-viewing spots so hikers share the area with grizzly and black bears, particularly during salmon runs. It's a rewarding hike for those looking for old-growth forest scenery and valley views, but the remoteness and active bear activity mean it's best suited to well-prepared hikers.

Getting There

Directions

Titan Trail is located near Hyder, Alaska, just across the border from Stewart, BC. From Hyder, head north on Fish Creek Road for approximately 10 km. The trailhead parking area is near the Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site, within Tongass National Forest.

Parking

Parking is at a designated lot near the Fish Creek Wildlife Observation Site on Fish Creek Road. This area is jointly used by wildlife viewers (especially during bear/salmon season) and hikers, so lots can fill up during peak viewing times.

Safety & Preparation

Fish Creek is one of the most active bear-viewing corridors in the region (both black bears and grizzlies) — this is NOT a casual bear-encounter area; carry bear spray and know how to use it.

The trail passes through dense old-growth forest and crosses several small streams — expect wet, uneven footing.

Round trip is roughly 13 km, so plan for adequate time, water, and daylight.

This is a U.S. Forest Service (Tongass National Forest) protected area — check current local regulations/closures (bear activity sometimes triggers seasonal trail restrictions) before heading out.

No reliable cell service in this corridor.
