Klawock to Ketchikan

On our last full day at Prince of Wales Island, we explored the trail around Balls Lake, in Tongass National Forest. The AYS team helped us core trees of several different species. We then returned to the AYS headquarters in Klawock and taught them how to mount tree cores and analyze them under the microscope. We also celebrated Nick’s birthday!
The following morning we took the ferry back to Ketchikan and spent the day climbing Dude Mountain. There, we collected more cedar samples in a muskeg and a bear trail along the edge of a cliff. We spent the final day of our trip exploring the city of Ketchikan and the nearby beaches.
