Taku Harbor

July 17, Wednesday

In the heart of nature’s symphony, the pouring rain creates a rhythmic melody, transforming trails into muddy adventures almost too challenging to hike. Yet, the persistent rain only adds to the enchantment, as otters feast playfully from the boardwalk, their antics a delightful spectacle. Above, eagles perch majestically in the treetops, their keen eyes observing the world below. Roaring rivers, swollen with rain, rush into the harbor, their powerful currents turning the water from a mesmerizing green to a rich, muddy tan. It’s a scene of raw, untamed beauty, where every element—rain, mud, wildlife, and water—comes together in a harmonious dance, celebrating the wild spirit of the land.

As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant oranges. The sunset casts its warm glow across the harbor, turning the water into a shimmering mirror of gold. It’s a scene of pure magic, where the day’s end is celebrated with a spectacular display of nature’s artistry.
