The Tongass National Forest is the largest national forest in the United States, covering much of Southeast Alaska and surrounding even its largest communities.

This is a temperate rainforest so, although you won't get to enjoy tropical heat, you might spot eagles, ravens, or bears as you wander through towering spruce, cedar, and hemlock trees. Occasional boardwalks and stairs make it easier to navigate the land contours hidden beneath the forest.

In the Tongass National Forest, the landscape is characterized by glaciers and numerous fjords. Covering an area of 69,000 km², the forest is the largest national forest in the country. Forest Service managed.
According to a report by the Washington Post, US President Donald Trump instructed his Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue in August 2019 to lift 20-year-old protections for the equivalent of 3.8 million hectares of the Tongass National Forest. Trump intends to target deforestation for energy and mining projects 😱(Wikipedia)
