These are some pretty pictures of things we saw in Terror Bay. Green up was well underway for our survey. Most of the alders and cottonwoods already had their leaves, and in the inner bay the pushki was already getting pretty tall. It is hard to find archaeological sites when the vegetation is well-advanced, and we got in the survey just in time. In another week it would have been difficult to see the sites. The grass, nettles, fireweed were all still very short and the salmonberries did not yet have a lot of leaves. In the outer bay things were still brown, and in the inner bay it was not yet too far advanced.
Terror Bay is not really a place people go to recreate in kayaks and camp. Hunters and commercial fishermen go there, but that's about it. But it does have its own beauty. The mountains loom straight up from the bay and there are some nice beaches at the head of the bay. The waterfall in and of itself is worth a visit. That said, I think we were there at the perfect time. It looks like it would be a pretty brushy place in the middle of summer and hard to find a campsite.
