First glimpse of Indian river, full of salmon, on the way to seeing totem trail at Sitka National Historic Park.
Sitka trails are often marked by landmarks. For example, half a mile to the lake. Indian river trail is marked by the “big bridges”, first one at 1.8 miles, second at 2 miles, 3rd at 2.3 miles and so forth. It is relatively easy to lose sense of time and miles. We think we went up to the first bridge.
A muskeg by the Indian river trail at 0.8 miles and the viewing deck. On a clear day, you can see the mountains, called the Sisters. Not today. But the muskeg clearings feel like a breadth of fresh air in these otherwise dense rainforests.

This is nearly a mile upstream, river continues to be full of salmon.
