Inside Passage

United States · Alaska

The Inside Passage is the protected waterway weaving through the islands of southeastern Alaska and British Columbia. Formed by glaciers and used by Native peoples for millennia, it became the route of gold rush steamers. Cruising its forested channels passes fishing towns, Tlingit and Haida territories, tidewater glaciers, waterfalls, and wildlife including whales, bears, eagles, and sea lions in one of the world's great sea voyages.
