Kenai Fjords National Park

Don, Lynn, Dave and I took a boat cruise of the fjords. Unfortunately that day was very foggy and we couldn't see much beyond the water. However, we were lucky to see orca whales, golden eagles, jellyfish (I didn't even know they were in AK.), waterfalls, sea lions, and puffins and some scenery. It was a nice cruise. Then we went to Exit Glacier. It was our second time to visit there. Posted on the walk of about 1 mile it shows how the glacier has retreated in the last 200 years. This day there was a cave visible that we didn't remember from the first time.

Dave and Lynn went on a kayak trip in the Resurrection Bay. It was foggy and I was concerned that they would get lost at sea. Lynn said the water was very calm and they had no problems. Don and I went on a hike on the Caineshead Trail. We passed over a bridge and could see very large salmon about 3-4 feet. I am not sure which type.

We all stayed at Soo's B&B in Seward. She was a delightful Korean woman.

We took Lynn see the salmon come to spawn at Potter's Creek and she was mesmerized.
