Cruising the Inside Passage

630 Beautiful Miles on the Inside Passage from Prince Rupert To Victoria BC, Canada

We cruised the inside passage in the evening and early morning and could not get enough of the views from the top deck. The channels and fjords surrounding the mountains wind in a path that is a smooth curve at just the right speed through the passage. The mountains were sometimes very close where the channel was maybe 1,000 feet wide, and they towered over us and then we would get to a wider part of the passage and they would move to the distance and we could see their massiveness. At times the trees looked like large bands of green and then we could get close and see the varieties of trees and how they each stood alone. We passed areas that had been cleared and then miles of pristine not touched areas. Occasionally we saw a house close to the water’s edge (a place to live?), often on a little island that we passed. As the sun set, the shadows were beautiful as were the many photos we took. A fabulous evening as we glided down the inside passage to Victoria.Les mer
