Wrangell and Hoonah

 Our first couple of stops were at smaller locations - Wrangell and Hoonah. Our ship is not one of those large vessels with many thousands of passengers which means we can enter smaller ports. It also means we skip some of the larger potential stops I suppose to avoid the crowding that can occur.


Wrangell


I assume Wrangell will be the smallest location we visit and may not have as much developed for tourists as some of the other locations. I did include a photo of our ship as this was first time I had a chance to find a location to take a photo of its entire length.




Alaska has large tidal variation which means that docks must be able to accommodate such changes in the height that boats may require.





I was able to find some interesting creations and totems to photograph.






Hoonah

Hoonah provided a very impressive gondola experience owned by the local indigenous people.











The landscape photo opportunities here seem to be everywhere.






Here is a bonus video Cindy shot from the ship.
