While on my recent survey I got to visit some beautiful places - a wide variety of beautiful places.
Deadmans Bay is a very long bay that extends far into Kodiak's interior. As we paddled up the bay (and then, later back out) the scenery slowly changed from the exposed outer bay to the protected inner bay. Near the head of the bay there were even cottonwood trees and tall, snow-capped mountains all around.
The east Aliulik Peninsula is all outer coast. No trees or even brush, and long stretches of exposed shoreline. Huge cliffs interspersed with long sandy beaches. We also hiked around Russian Harbor which is a tidal lagoon that seems more like a lake than the ocean. It even had a long tidal 'river' connecting it to the sea. It was here that we found the worst hiking. It was all tussocks and hummocks - very uneven and difficult hiking.
