Warnings Or Dangers: Though we never saw a grizzly...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Though we never saw a grizzly while camping, cooking, or eating on the beach, we saw plenty from the cruise ship. Though it would have been fun seeing one from the kayak, it was scary enough just knowing they were there. If we'd seen one, it would have made camping an even more hair raising experience. As it was you had to store your food in bear proof cannisters that were to be stored 100 yards from your tent, preferably downwind. You were to cook another 100 yards from there.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Sometimes you make a stop that looks scenic but perhaps is not the best for safety. generally the more steep your shoreline, the more you should just keep paddling. The worst part is the slippery nature of the rocks. On one such stop, I carelessly stepped out of the boat and slipped right in the frigid water. Only half of me went in, but my clothes were soaked and I was forced to get all my clothes off and shivering, change into some dry ones. Ina was the perfect savior, getting me undressed quickly and getting warm dry things for me to put on. She then made up some tea. We stuck to more gradually inclined beaches for pulling over from then on.

     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 ;)
