Chilkott Lake

Chilkott Lake is about 10 miles northeast of Haines, Alaska along the coast of the Alaskan Panhandle. I got to Haines by taking the ferry from Skagway, Alaska. The photograph was taken near the outlet to the Chilkoot River, said to be some of the best salmon fishing in southeast Alaska, which, as several warning signs along the way made clear, brings bears to the area. I didn’t see any bears while I was there, but did encounter quite a few mosquitoes.
