Misty Fiords

About Misty Fiords

Misty Fiords National Monument preserves a pristine wilderness of dramatic fjords, towering granite cliffs, and cascading waterfalls in southeastern Alaska. Managed by the U.S. Forest Service, the monument encompasses old-growth temperate rainforest and provides habitat for brown bears, mountain goats, and diverse marine life. The area features spectacular scenery carved by glacial action, with sheer rock walls rising thousands of feet from tidewater. Access is primarily by floatplane or boat, making it one of Alaska's most remote and unspoiled wilderness areas.
