Misty Fjords national Monument’s deep canals and inlets were carved<br />
by glaciers thousands of years ago and their granite grandeur leads<br />
some to call this place the Yosemite of the north.<br />
In the blue distance, massive mountains rise from the<br />
sea; as you get close, you’ll see granite slopes scoured<br />
ages ago by the weight of glaciers. Near the entrance to<br />
Misty Fjords is New Eddystone Rock, a remnant of volcanic<br />
activity; it was named by early English explorers.<br />

The u.S. Forest Service manages the<br />
monument—much of it as wilderness.<br />
The near edge of the 2.3 million-acre<br />
area is 40 miles south of <strong>Ketchikan</strong>.<br />
Misty Fjords provides outstanding<br />
recreational opportunities and wildlife<br />
habitat. The monument is accessible<br />
by floatplane or boat from <strong>Ketchikan</strong>.<br />
Day cruises and flightseeing trips are<br />
offered daily in the summer. Kayak<br />
companies and small charter boat<br />
operations offer guided overnight trips.<br />
