Southeast Alaska by Kayak

Bald eagles, brown bears, wolves, whales, and salmon galore There's no better way to experience the abundance of wildlife in Southeast Alaska than by kayak. Join professional photographer and expedition kayaker Dan Kiely (www.dankielyphoto.com) for a digital presentation of his paddling adventures in Southeast Alaska's Tongass National Forest. As Dan shares highlights from his one- to five-week solo trips, exploring inside bays and waterways, islands, and the wild outer coast, he'll introduce you to the stunning beauty and wildlife of some of the region's premier wilderness areas-Glacier Bay National Park, Tracy Arm-Fords Terror Wilderness, West Chichagof-Yakobi Wilderness, Misty Fiords National Monument, and more. Come find out about essential gear, skills, and know-how for a safe wilderness paddling trip, and learn tips for photographing from a kayak. If you register for this free presentation at www.rei.com/stores, we will hold a seat for you until the scheduled start time. Seating may be available at the door, even if registration is closed. Other dates: 3/20 (Sar); 3/28 (C Mad); both at 7:00 pm.
