"Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter." -John Muir

I like to think that if John Muir had the chance to visit Shearwater Cove, he would also sit at the top of our Alpine Trail and enjoy the view. Although I bet he would then scale the peaks behind the yurts and disappear into Day Harbor without telling anyone.

There is so much to explore in Resurrection Bay both on land and water. If you go John Muir style and hike off into the mountains or take to the water in one of our kayaks you have two great ways to experience the area from sea level all the way up to the alpine.
