Misty Fjords National Monument
Located 22 miles from Ketchikan in the Tongass National Forest of Alaska's southern panhandle is one of our country's greatest treasures. At 2.3 million acres, Misty Fjords National Monument is almost four times the size of Rhode Island. It is a land of incredible natural beauty and rugged grandeur characterized by deep fjords, sheer walls of granite rising over 3,000 feet, huge stands of spruce, hemlock and cedar, pristine lakes and snow capped mountain peaks. The fjords and valleys were created by massive glaciers over thousands of years. Accessible only by foot, boat or floatplane this untouched wilderness has no roads, permanent housing or endemic poplation. It was first noted in the journals of British explorer Captain George Vancouver.
