Ugak Scenery

 

Outer Bay

Ugak Bay is much bigger than I had expected.  I have been there a few times and flown over it countless times.  It just never seemed all that big to me.  But once we started to survey and actually boated around from place to place - I realized that it is HUGE.  It's even bigger than adjacent Kiliuda Bay.  

It spears far into the interior of Kodiak and snow-covered mountains tower above the 3 arms that form the head of the bay.  The outer bay is characterized by grassy fields and lower mountains with less snow on them.  The outer bay is the only part of the bay that I have ever visited before.  Narrow Cape forms the north entrance to the bay, and in the past I used to mountain bike and explore the coastline between Pasagshak and Saltery Cove.  A few years ago the museum even did a survey of the Saltery Cove area (click here for post).
