Hoary Marmot sighting
Knight Inlet Lodge has spotted a "new" species with the first known sighting of a Hoary Marmot in Glendale Cove. Originally spotted by Knight Inlet Lodge Guide Tress while on an "Above The Clouds" hike in mid June then again yesterday near the lodge. The largest member of the North American ground squirrel family is usually seen higher in the mountains near the tree line. Knight Inlet Lodge Guest Frank Drewello was kind enough to share his photo with us.
