From spring to autumn, North America’s Pacific coast comes alive as whales, seals and birds chase increasing daylight north to feed on the riches it generates, and return south again as winter sets in. It’s a lively time as fishing fleets depart Dutch Harbour to ply the Bering Sea; grizzly and brown bears fish for salmon; while bald and golden eagles soar above. As snowpack recedes, spectacular hikes open along the coast of Alaska and British Columbia, and fascinating day trips reveal cultures ranging from villages of Inuit hunters to Tlingit totem carvers. Discover music-infused Seattle and the Victorian era towns of Oregon and Northern California; the Gold Rush and counter-culture of San Francisco and the sun-drenched beaches of Spanish-influenced Santa Barbara and San Diego. Some images are artist’s impressions.
