Idaho Inlet. Chichagoff Island, Alaska. July 20 to 25 1907. Frank Stephens. Idaho Inlet is a narrow bay in the northwestern part of Chichagoff Island. It is two miles wide at the mouth, narrowing to half a mile at the head and is about eight miles long. The mountains on each side are moderately steep and run from 2,000 to at least 3,000 feet in height. They are thickly forested at their bases and half way or more up, but are bald on their summits. We climbed one that was 2,250 alt.: this was comparatively smooth on the summit and was thickly covered with grass. We were disappointed to find no birds or mammals on it, as it looks like a good hunting ground. The only level ground along the beach is little patches here and there at the mouths of streams. The bay in general is somewhat like Red Bluff Bay, but is larger and the surrounding mountains are not as steep. Water fowl were not abundant; land birds were scarce; mammals were not plentiful; snail shells were not plentiful; no butterflies were seen. The proximity of the ocean seemed to cause cloudy and rainy weather and we had bad weather all the time we were there. Camp was made on an islet at the head of the bay.
