Bay Of Pillars
Nestled within
the Kuiu Wilderness of the Tongass
National Forest, Bay of Pillars is a dream destination
for nature lovers. Located on the west coast of Kuiu Island, this bay
opens up onto Chatham Strait and boasts a unique
geography. Dotted with scores of small islands, the bay offers incredible
opportunities for wildlife viewing.
Beyond the
natural beauty, history buffs will appreciate the Kake Cannery, a testament
to the region's fishing heritage. However, the true stars of the show are the
surrounding Tongass National Forest lands. With its
towering mountains, deep fjords, lush rainforests, and abundant wildlife, the Tongass
National Forest provides endless opportunities for
exploration and adventure.
While
nightlife is limited in this secluded location, the serenity and natural beauty
more than make up for it. Consider adding a visit to Warm Springs
Bay, known for its picturesque hot springs, or Green Lake, a stunning
freshwater haven, to your itinerary for a truly unforgettable Alaskan
experience.
