Today was our best one to date. We booked an excursion out of Ketchikan; a boat trip into the Misty Fjords National Monument and wilderness area. It was 5 hours from when we left the dock until we tied back up and got off. It was quite cloudy when we left but it mostly cleared up and when we well into the National Monument it was really quite sunny. Lots of marvelous photos. The commercial salmon season starts tomorrow morning at 5:00 AM so we saw several fishing boats that were anchored in their favorite fishing spot and already to start tomorrow at 5:00.
Ketchikan bills itself as “Alaska’s 1st city” meaning the first city that most of the cruises stop at.
New Eddystone Rock, one of the landmarks in Misty Fjords National Monument.
Once he weather cleared the scenery was spectacular.
