We re tucked snugly away in the end of Cousins Inlet off the Dean Channel where seals and sea otters play in the bay area year round and Canada Geese and Blue Heron winter over on the Martin River delta. Link Lake, accessible by car or foot, is eighteen miles of pristine beauty with resident cut-throat trout that run up to four, five pounds and beyond. A short boat ride across the lake takes you to the mouth of the Braden River where the trout are of legendary dimensions and garnets lie around like gravel. On the salt-chuck the fjords are endless and each one unique. There s whales, seals and sea-lions in the water, deer, bear mountain goat, wolves and cougars on the shore and squadrons of eagles whirl and soar amongst the crags.
Fresh water streams down ancient stone into the sea everywhere.
The eco-system bursts with life from the sea bed to the mountain tops. This is the rainforest. There has been a million pictures taken of the area and not one of them does it justice. It s impossible to really know how beautiful it is until you ve seen it with your own eyes.
