  • Tip Rating:
  • One of the best things was the curious seals that would pop up for a view of you after hearing the approaching paddling. Again, this was taken from shore, they were much closer when you were in the kayak.

    Off The Beaten Path: Oyster catchers on the beach.
  • Tip Rating:
  • One of the great things about doing a true wilderness trip is you get to see animals that are not acclimated to human beings. I was cooking meals in close proximity to sea gulls that would have me lose fingers at the Jersey shore but here, the birds paid no attention to me. Same with these oyster catchers, they did not associate me with food, so they left me alone. And that is why you should never feed wildlife, that way they don't get used to handouts.

  • Tip Rating:
  • I was patiently waiting for this bald eagle to fly away so I could get a good shot of it in flight. I had the tripod set up and the zoon all ready. I must have been there a half hour. Ina came walking up the beach and called my name. As I turned to tell her to be quiet, it made its exit. If birds can laugh, I'm sure this one chuckled as it flew away.

    Off The Beaten Path: Beached berg.
  • Tip Rating:
  • Icebergs are perhaps even more amazing once on land than when view floating. As you can see, there is a lot of an iceberg below the water!

     Just starting to plan for probable visit to Alaska next year. Not sure I'm up to a trip like this but your tips & photos are inspiring! Adams Inlet shot especially stunning - worth all the mozzies! Also view fr Caroline Point. But Club Seaweed - groan ;)
