As a sailor would say, “It’s dirty weather out there today.” This storm that engulfed Wrangell was considered heavy rain, even by the friendly people of the town. Yet operations ran with guests who were able to view over twenty bears at Anan Creek, visit the Chief Shakes Tribal House, walk around Petroglyph Beach, and hike in the footsteps of John Muir up Dewey Mountain. Having a dry and comfortable cabin to return to at the end of the day is a cozy homecoming.

Misty Fjords National Monument
Misty Fjords National Monument, administered by the United States Forest Service, is a region of stunning natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and temperate rainforests. These fjords offer ample opportunities to spot a wide variety of animals in their natural habitats. We began the morning with a double bear sighting at the head of Behm Canal. Zodiac cruising in Walker Cove is an ideal way to experience the beauty and tranquil waters of this fjord. Gliding past sedge meadows and salmon streams while keeping an eye out for seals, eagles, and even bears is an unforgettable thrill. The region's diverse marine life and pristine waterways make it a wildlife enthusiast’s paradise. Our cameras and binoculars continue to search for bears, whales, and beautiful light in the waning hours of our voyage. Exploring the untouched wilderness of Southeast Alaska has provided us with a chance to witness nature at its most raw and majestic.
