 |
| Sitka, Alaska was our first port of call and our arranged hike took us into the forest filled with cedar and hemlock trees. |
 |
| Uncharacteristically beautiful weather was with us on the entire trip and helped make the Sitka hike an absolute delight. |
 |
| Certain views of the Sitka Sound (those without mountains) were not unlike what you'd see on Lake Superior's North Shore. |
 |
| Our guide on the Sitka hike was a young indigenous woman from Alaska's Tlingit nation. Her bleached hair is not tradtional! |
 |
| The forest is lush and moss covered. Sitka, in the midst of a temperate rainforest, receives over 90 inches of rain annualy. |
 |
| It was goregeous, and easy going, on Sitka's hiking trails which included elevated walkways above boggy areas. |
 |
Peter stopped to snap this picture which shows the micro beauty of the Sitka hike, which is better know for its macro beauty.
