Today in Southeast Alaska was, simply put, AMAZING! We spent the majority of our day either on land hiking or on the water kayaking. We first anchored at a favorite place of our naturalists, Cascade Creek, to explore another temperate rainforest. This particular spot has a massive cascading waterfall that guests get to gaze upon as they explore the forest. A few guests even stood, arms wide open, basking in the mist of the Cascade.

After lunch we stopped at another place, called Scenery Cove, and guests hopped into kayaks for a lovely paddle around the cove. Throughout the day the weather was a perfect Alaska summer day - not hot, no rain, clouds low and ribboned throughout the mountainous forests.

Alaska holds in her a certain beauty that cannot be replicated. We all agreed, today was a day for which to be grateful.
