Flightseeing ~ Misty Fjords
Ketchikan, Alaska
Well this entire day made our Top 5 Greatest Moments of the trip! We booked this float plane trip on our own rather than with the cruise line. We were so happy with our choice ~ Island Wings Air Service was outstanding {and she takes great pictures too ~ see above picture}. This picture was taken on Matt's Island on Punchbowl Lake inside the Misty Fjords National Monument. Our pilot, Michell, landed on this lake and we were able to get off the plane and walk around. We snapped several pictures and she took this one for us. When Matt asked Michelle what the name of this little island she said it was Matt's Island. His eyes lit up ~ he loved that! 
Words {and even these pictures} can't even describe this trip. We had a very clear day and the views were amazing. We also enjoyed walking around downtown Ketchikan and managed to do a little shopping while we were there. This was our last port of call on our trip & we looked forward to our last day at sea before we headed home.
I'm so glad we saved the best tour for last!
Well this is it for my Alaska entries ~ I hope you enjoyed the little tour. I know you'll be seeing pictures pop up in various projects.

ReplyDeleteI felt that way about our trip, too. Even the best pictures don't do justice to the beauty there.
Oh my - my parents just returned from an Alaskan cruise and visited this city also - kinda wild eh? Love your work!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful pictures. Our daughter was in Alaska for a year and we never got to go. Looks like you had a wonderful time. TFS! Rita
