On the elk hunt we get to see a lot of country. This year we started in the spruce forests and finished in treeless high alpine. Afognak Island is a pretty big island and the character of the country depends on altitude, distance from the sea, soils and slope aspect. During the first part of our trip we were mostly in the lowlands and far from the open ocean. Hence it was covered with spruce trees and where there were not trees - brush. We finished on a high exposed peninsula that sticks out into the sea. No spruce forest there!
Beautiful place and a great place to explore. The hiking and camping is always my favorite part of any elk hunt. Patrick
