Ketchikan
The Misty Fjords National
Monument offers everything that "means" Alaska. The only way to take in
the true majesty of this pristine wilderness is by floatplane. It's
soaring cliffs, saw-tooth ridges blanketed in trademarks mists, sky-blue
lakes, endless waterfalls, icy saltwater fjords and miles of
glacier-carved gorges cannot be appreciated any other way.
And, while you take in the enormity of the Misty Fjords National
Monument from above, your pilot will be busy checking for wildlife
below, a closer look at creatures big and small, from burly brown bears
to agile mountain goats and from harbor seals to humpback whales.
