Aialik Bay near Seward, Alaska (July 28, 2023)

…witnessing humpback whales bubble-net feeding for the first, and only, time of my life was beyond incredible.

Beluga Point (Alaska – July 2023)

We pulled over at Beluga Point, a rocky outpost jutting into the waters of Turnagain Arm, on our way to Girdwood. The place is named for the white whales that are often spotted from this location as they make their way up and down the inlet. Belugas are supposedly seen from mid-July through August when salmon are running in Cook Inlet. Although we were there in late July, we saw nothing. In addition to the beluga, supposedly you can see the black fins of orcas as they pursue the white belugas.

Fortunately, we did see orcas a few days later south of Seward.

There are three sisters at Sisters Rock State Park, 13 miles north of Gold Beach on the Oregon Coast. The two big ones are attached to the beach, but the one above is not.
