One of the prettiest walks on Haida Gwaii when the tide is in and the sky is blue is the walk along the Sunset Trail in Port Clements.
The Yakoun River is the longest river on Haida Gwaii meandering about 60 km(37 miles) from Yakoun Lake in south central Graham Island to Masset Inlet, a large salt water bay.
The estuary is broad and shallow partly due do silt deposits from clear-cut logging. It has a world famous fall salmon run and cut throat trout in the spring.
Bank erosion of the river combined with high water in the spring sweeps large trees into the esturary
Where some continue life as a "nurse stump" for new life.
This is this morning's collection of trash off the two kilometer stretch of beach we walk daily. Fortunately there were no
feet in these shoes! If you are new to my blog check the previous two posts to see what we pick up off the same two km. stretch of beach daily! There is about 8000 kms of exposed shoreline just on this island.....IMAGINE THE GARBAGE!!!!!!
For other great skies from around the world why not join us at
