When we got to the Parque Nacional Vincente Perez after our taxi ride with Maurice we did what I love doing in Sitka National Park, we took a walk. Instead of along the coastline and through the spruce forest punctuated by totem poles we walked along a glacial river past waterfalls caused when the earth fractured as hot lava ran under glaciers creating cracks that became wider fractures that served almost as sluice boxes for the glacial water. Over time the rock was worn into smoother potholes. The milky glacial water, white froth, green summer plants and the towering volcanoes made for a satisfying walk.
