Just wow
The harbour and marina at Hoonah, Alaska. We were there on a day with the temperature in the 80's. Difficult to believe that just round the corner is Glacier Bay!
A street scene in Hoonah. Hoonah is a city on Chichagof Island (5th largest island in the USA) with a community of the Tlingit people. It has a remote, small town feel as it would with a population of around 750 which swells in summer to 1300 or so. There is a lot of native art, wood carving, painting etc. and the economy is based on fishing, boating, hiking and hunting.
