The Valley
While the bears are the main attraction, the Khutzeymateen valley is one of the most gorgeous spots I have seen on this earth. I could spend an entire day just cruising up and down the fiord on the deck of the Oceanlight II and be in seventh heaven. From the cloud-shrouded peaks, to the morning still waters, to a quiet and peaceful green meadow the power of this place draws you in, warms your heart and sets your senses alive. As I did last year, I will let the scenes speak for themselves.

As this was the last Khutzeymateen trip this year for the Oceanlight II, Tom gave us the option of sailing back to Prince Rupert and the entire cast of characters onboard agreed. We headed out the Khutzeymateen inlet and down the Inside Passage to an anchorage named Pearl Harbour. A nice stroll on a close-by island, followed by a salmon bake and then watching the sunset glow for our last night was the perfect cap to our adventure. Here are some images of that journey. Now, if you are wondering if we saw a Mother with cubs, there is still more to come........
