Wrangell
My favorite spot in southeast Alaska is without a doubt the charming berg of Wrangell. This quaint, quiet town offers just enough infrastructure and commerce combined with sweeping views and a bevy of outdoor activities. Situated near the mouth of the mighty Stikine river, Wrangell is a hidden gem for those looking for world-class salmon and halibut fishing.
Downtown Wrangell
Arriving on a Sunday afternoon, most of the businesses were closed, but we enjoyed excellent pizza and beer on the patio at the Marine Bar.

For the night, we drove up to Nemo Point on Forest Service land and were delighted to find immaculately maintained campsites high above the Zimovia Strait. I have to say it is one of the most exceptional places I have ever camped. We built a campfire with the free provided firewood, watched the sunset over the water and listened to the birdcalls echoing across the strait.

In the morning, we enjoyed breakfast at the Diamond C Café, which is for sale, although you will have to beat me to it as I doubt I can resist returning to this phenomenal part of the world!
