Inspiring glacial beauty
Magnificent Misty Fiords National Monument is a pristine masterpiece. Its fjords were created by massive glacier action in the ice-rimmed wilderness. Here is one of the country’s greatest treasures and some of Alaska’s most spectacular scenery. Its 2.3 million acres include soaring cliffs, sawtooth ridges shrouded in mists, sky-blue lakes, hanging valleys, countless waterfalls, bottomless saltwater fjords, and miles of glaciers. And the monument is home to a multitude of wildlife.
Misty Fjords’ roadless location is accessed only by floatplane or boat from Ketchikan. Cruise (2-3 hours one way), fly (35 minutes one way) or choose a cruise/fly combination. Excursion vessels will carry your kayak to and from Misty Fjords, where you can paddle the pristine waters from a campsite or one of the U.S. Forest Service Cabins.
Cruise passengers can see old pictographs (native rock art) painted along the walls within the monument, drink from fjord waterfalls, enjoy relaxed cruising while watching for shoreside wildlife, and see famous New Eddystone Rock, a picturesque volcanic core. Floatplanes provide a bird’s-eye view of the entire locale and land on an alpine lake, so passengers can absorb the serenity and astonishing beauty.
