Misty Fjord

United States · Alaska

Misty Fjords National Monument is a vast wilderness of fjords and cliffs in southeastern Alaska, near Ketchikan. Sheer granite walls rise 3,000 feet from the water in a land perpetually veiled in mist and rain. Flightseeing and small-boat cruises reveal waterfalls cascading from hanging valleys, the volcanic Plug of New Eddystone Rock, old-growth rainforest, and wildlife including bears, eagles, and seals in one of Alaska's most dramatic landscapes.
