Sitka Trail Works Inc. and Allen Marine are teaming up to offer a bike and hike adventure on Kruzof Island this Saturday, June 24.
An Allen Marine catamaran will take cyclists and their mountain bikes from Sitka to Mud Bay on Kruzof Island, with the plan to ride five miles along the Kruzof Island logging roads and then hike another 1 1/2 miles from the Shelikof Bay Trailhead to Iris Meadows (total round-trip distance is 10 miles biking, 3 miles hiking). The boat leaves Sitka at 7 a.m. (load at 6:30 a.m. at Crescent Harbor) and returns at 5 p.m.
“It should be really fun, and I am sure the 24 spaces will go quickly,” said Deborah Lyons, Sitka Trail Works executive director. Sitka Trail Works is requesting a $100 donation to cover costs, and people can call the Sitka Trail Works office at 747-7244 to reserve their space.
