Wrangell to Petersburg

Tue 10-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel |

We got our wish: A sunny day for our trip to Petersburg. Before loading time we took a hike on the Rainbow Falls trail. Another hike through a beautiful rain forest, but this one had 500 feet of elevation...

Nemo Point

Mon 9-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel |

Again we woke in Wrangell to rain and misty low clouds. But as the day wore on, we began to notice a pattern of more time between the rain showers and less rain with each shower. We headed to a beach on the...

Wrangell

Sun 8-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel |

As promised, it was really rainy and cold. We managed a walk on the town dock during one clear moment and met an interesting gentleman who lives on his boat there all year round. He likes Alaska best after...

Ketchikan to Wrangell

Sat 7-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel |

Ketchikan Hiking

Fri 6-Jun-2014 Alaska, Travel |

Today was another sunny day so we decided it was a hiking day. We considered all of the options and decided to hike the Perseverance Lake Trail. It had the advantages that it had only 500 feet of elevation...

Misty Fjords

A very grey day with occasional spits of rain, but that didn’t stop us from wandering around Ketchikan. In the morning we walked the trail around Ward Lake. Saw a mother Merganser with 9 tiny babies....

Prince Rupert to Ketchikan

Tue 3-Jun-2014 Alaska, British Columbia, Travel |

Smithers to Prince Rupert

Sun 1-Jun-2014 British Columbia, Travel |

Today we followed the Skeena River through the Coast Mountains with a few stops on the way.  The weather was perfect – nary a cloud in the sky. At Mauricetown Canyon, the river is restricted by...
