Tongass National Forrest

Once we arrived at the mouth of Anan Creek Sylvia beached the jet boat and we commenced our walk through the forest to the observatory. The Tongass National Forest is temperate rainforest. Through the trees we could see the estuary of the creek. It was low tide and a juvenile brown was catching salmon in the shallow waters. The area is stunning and the colours in the forest so lush. The hills in the area are granite and there is not a lot of ground so as fallen trees rot they become nursery logs for the germination and growth of new trees.Weiterlesen
