Spending Time in Hoonah on Icy Strait Point, Alaska

Watching boats near

Icy Point Strait.

There are two ways to get to Hoonah on Icy Point...

Eric & I take the 1.5-mile

Nature Trail to Honnah 

Cannery & the Beach.

The tram brings visitors

to town.

The large ruffly orange growth is a

Chicken of the Woods Mushroom.

Decaying tree stumps are

nurseries for new life.

Devil's Club

Bears eat its Berries.

Built in 1912, the Hoonah Cannery

processed Salmon until 1953.

The Beach is rocky.

I think the stumps are the

remains of an old pier.

Eric & I scan the water

for Whales.

We join others near the

Orca Statue for a better

view of the water.

During our visit, Eric and I didn't see any spouting water or the backs of Whales.  

We return to The Norwegian Joy.

Our Ship continues to our

next port. Ketchikan.
