Water, Water, Everywhere

September 02, 2014 Posted by: Bryanna Plog

Before arriving in Katmai National Park and Preserve in May, I had worked two years in the desert of the American Southwest.

That the weather, landscape, and geographic features all seem completely reliant on water is something that struck me when I first arrived to Katmai and in the months since.
