Travel duration: Less than 10 minute drive to the park. Less than 2 hour drive to the furthest point on the other side of the peninsula. We reentered the park at the field house on the north side.
Visit duration: 2 days
OUV: We saw lots of deer, birds and a fox. The bears are given priority over humans in areas where they like to feed, so it appears that the ecosystem is being protected. It is a wild and beautiful place.
Best of: Sightseeing boat trip to the cape. It was good light and although there were waves, the Aurora was very stable. There were a few waterfalls, intriguing rock formations and some abandoned buildings. We were also, separately, thrilled to see a small geyser that I hadn’t read about beforehand!
Worst of: There were not a lot of food options in Utoro in the evening and they closed early. We did have some excellent food, but it was work to find it.
