That night we anchored at Win Stanley Island.
Really interesting "totems" along the water line. One can certainly see the influence these formations had on the art of the American Indian and even the Aztecs.
One of our first breathtaking views of Misty Fiords Monument Park (2.2 million acres) was at Punch Bowl; quite aptly named, wouldn't you say.
One of the many spectacular waterfalls racing down the rock faces amidst the trees, which are hanging on for dear life. One wonders how these mighty firs can keep growing when there seems to be no dirt for their roots to dig into.

Crossing Behm Canal the evening of July 23 was rough as we headed into Manzaneta Cove. It was nice to get in and anchor for the night. We saw the diamond-shaped sign that indicates a buoy, but we couldn't find it. We think it had to have been removed for some reason.
Leaving the following morning.... Behm was much calmer.
We headed back to the Fiords and spent the day tied to a buoy at Walker Cove. And THAT's where we saw the bears!
Well, it's 10pm. It's been a long day..... "the teddy bears picnic" will come tomorrow....

What a dirty trick to leave us hanging like that ... The suspense is killing us. *wink.
Even if you haven't had very many sunny days you are certainly seeing some beautiful country. I looked for the totems in your photos, but I must have missed them. I'll go back now and look again.
Stay away from the bears.
