Finding the beauty in these cold grey days. Misty Fjords can only be seen by seaplane or cruise ship due to it’s remoteness and one specific the place to check out if you go is definitely Punchball Cove, a sheer granite cliff which rises vertically up 3,150 feet – an incredible sight. Situated 40 miles of Ketchikan – a stop on this great small ship cruise – and near the Yukon border, Misty Fjords is a place of incredible beauty with huge peaks either side of the inside passage which you’ll sail down to see this magnificent place.
The time and place to see the Chugach would be at sunset from Anchorage, a magnificent sight of pink, purples, reds and yellows descending upon a beautiful backdrop. The mountains are protected by the Chugach State Park and Chugach National Forest near to the capital Anchorage which is great for outdoor activities.
