Prince
of Wales Island is home to a wealth of Native American culture. Some
of the largest totem pole parks are located in local communities. In
addition, the deepest known caves in the United States, as well as the
longest, have been recently discovered at El Capitan on the northern tip
of the island. The
actual tour of the caves is not for the frail and elderly as access to the
entrance of the cave requires climbing 355 steps.
Prince of Wales Island is located at the southernmost tip
of the Alaskan panhandle, 75 miles west of Ketchikan, and 600 miles north
of Seattle. It is the third largest island in the United States,
(Kodiak
Island being the largest and the big island of Hawaii the second)
at 135 miles long and 40 miles across. It is part of the Tongass National
Rain Forest, averaging 60 to 200 inches of precipitation annually. There
is 990 miles of beautiful coastline and large lush green valleys that were
carved by glacial ice. With only 6,300 people residing here annually,
Prince of Wales is truly America's best-kept secret.
The
landscape is characterized by steep, forested mountains and deep "U"
shaped valleys, streams, lakes, saltwater straits, and bays that were
carved by glacial ice, which once covered this entire area. The blanket of
spruce-hemlock forest is broken by scattering of muskegs, or bogs. Most of
the mountains on the island are 2,000 to 3,000 feet high.
It is not uncommon to see Bald Eagles, Black Bear, Sitka Blacktail Deer,
and an occasional Timber Wolf. The island is also
the ancestral home of the Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes.
The
temperate rainforests of the Tongass National Forest, and waters of the
Inside Passage, provide a spectacular natural setting to view whales,
porpoise, seals, otters, bald eagles, deer, bear, sea birds, and other
wildlife. Since the Federal government says we can't pen them up, and most
have failed to respond to our efforts to domesticate them, our Captains
strive to keep tabs on their general locations. On any given day during
the season many, and sometimes all, of the species can be seen.
