Alaska Day 7: Kayaking in Resurrection Bay

With a guide, Lisa and I kayaked in Resurrection Bay along the temperate rain forest coast. When I think of Alaska, I don't think of rain forest. But here I am, in a rain forest. We kayaked for 12 miles. To break up the paddling, we landed at a few beaches for hikes and for lunch. We saw bald eagles, otters, and sea lions. During one of the breaks, we hiked to a beautiful waterfall. Close up sea shore life. Barnacles on barnacles. Snails, barnacles, and mussels. Of course, the limpet. Hike to our lunch spot. The view of the bay.
