Today is Wrangell Day! This port stop is always a crowd favorite. Today, guests had the choice to jet boat up the Stikine River, attend a Tlingit cultural presentation, see a petroglyph-riddled beach, and/or explore town. It was a bit of a choose-your-adventure situation in Wrangell this morning. After lunch, we pulled up anchor and headed for a place called Zarembo Island to explore a temperate rainforest via game trails. It was so beautiful to get into the woods, and we even found a muskeg with sundews! In the evening, the fog came in, which made for a picture-perfect way to finish today. Such a wonderful day!

An authentic Alaskan experience includes rain; today, we had an authentic experience for twenty-four hours straight. Our morning hikes took us through a stunning temperate rainforest, made possible by the liquid sunshine that characterizes this region. Everything dripped, and waterfalls increased in volume by the hour. The afternoon included a watercolor session led by Kimberly Wood, and a presentation on whales by Erica Wirth. Five intrepid guests signed up for a Zodiac tour in the continuous downpour, and their bravery was rewarded — they saw at least fifteen bald eagles, nosed up a creek, waved to curious harbor seals, and viewed National Geographic Sea Lion amidst literal mist. Rain creates this place, and today we soaked up that reality.

Wrangell
Today guests enjoyed an awesome day in the town of Wrangell. Groups split up for different activities including hiking Mount Dewey, e-biking, visiting Chief Shakes for a cultural experience, exploring petroglyph beach, and visiting the bears at Anan. The group who went to Anan also saw killer whales along the way, and a mink eating salmon. They wrapped up the day with recaps, dinner, and a geological presentation.
