HEY ALL!! Another busy week here at the visitors center! I just wanted to share some photos from last weeks Elderhostel Group. You may or may not be familar with the Elderhostel program but basically it's an opportunity for people over 55 to take short-term academic experiences all over the world. This year we had 14 individuals participate in the "Unalaska Adventure". Most of the participants were from interior Alaska and had always wanted to come out here so they took this opportunity to do so. It was a wonderful week and I want to thank everyone who helped make it happen (Bobbie Lekanoff, Brian Stockman, Reid Brewer, Mayor Shirley, Jeff Dickrell, Sharon Svarny-Livingston, Susan Lynch, Don Graves, Michelle Cochran, Grand Aleutian Hotel, Unalaska Public Library Staff, Brenda Wallace, & Sherry Frayram) A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU!!!!

A couple of new pictures for you

We just wanted to share some photo's with you. We've been doing a lot of exploring and can't wait to show you more pictures from all of our adventures. Now if only we could get some more sunshine.....

Spotted: WHALES!

We've been hearing rumors and now we can confirm that the whales have been hanging out between Little South America and back side of Hog Island. So if you have a boat now is a good time to go whale watching!

Take a HIKE!

Sorry we've been SO busy we haven't got a chance to post anything! Between the cruise ship arrivals, reports, redesigning our website(Which should be launched soon STAY TUNED) and everything else we've been up too... posting a NEW blog just wasn't an option :)

BUT- We have been exploring our islands and its beautiful out right now! If you're looking for a new adventure take a hike up to Pyramid. There are countless waterfalls, green valleys, meadows of wild flowers and lots of photo opportunities!

Don't forget to visit the OC and get your land permit first!

Hope you're having a wonderful day!

Take a drive over the pass!
