One of my favorite places to photograph is located in Petersburg. It’s a tricky spot to get to because the best angles are from the Wrangell Narrows during low-tide. For this spot, timing is everything.

Here’s an image that I’ve taken from this spot:

• Starting at Papa Bear’s (it’s right on the main street of the town), head North towards Eagles Roost Park by foot. It will take you about 5 minutes to walk and please note that there is a slight uphill.
• Once you’re at Eagles Roost Park, face the direction of the water and turn to the right. You will see the beginning of a path.
• Follow the path for about :15 seconds and you’ll see stairs. Take the stairs (approximately 3-4 flights).
• This is where your timing will be key. During low-tide, there will be rocks exposed. Scramble over the rocks and look down the Wrangell Narrows towards Devil’s Thumb. On a clear day, you’ll see the wonderful mountain peak.
• Please note that the tide swings can be more than 14 feet (depending on the time of year, it can swing to 20+ feet).
• Tip: Wear waterproof boots so you can wade into the water a bit
