The Fungi Kingdom are the arteries and veins that allow the forest to flourish. While mushrooms are the most recognizable fungi, a network of mycelium is said to stretch all around the globe connecting fungi to plants and plants to each other in a symbiotic relationship. Nearly 90% of all plants have a mutually benefiting relationship with fungi. Plants provide food for fungi in the form of carbohydrates, and fungi aid the plant in sucking up water and provide nutrients like phosphorus and nitrogen via their mycelia. Scientists have also discovered that dead and dying plants are able to transfer their nutrients to new growing plants via this incredible network. Some scientists believe that saplings wouldn't survive without the fungi kingdom 🍄🌲🌎
This is where I work 🚵‍♀️🏔🌎
"So truly blind is lord man, so pathetically employed in his little jobs of town building, church building, bread getting, the study of the spirits and heavens, etc., that he can see nothing of the heaven he is in" -John Muir 🙏🌲🌎
On Tuesday, we went for a hike up AB Mountain. It was a little too snowy for our motivation level to get to the summit. Luckily, we have all summer to go up again. 8 miles total roundtrip, 4000 ft elevation gain. The summit was still 1.5 miles and 1000 ft above where we stopped. ▪️ My mind is still taking in the view from up there. It was truly one of the most beautiful sites I've ever seen 🌲🏔🌎 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #alaska #southeastalaska #guidelife #tourguide #skagway #thisisskagway #tongassnationalforest #lynncanal #mountainlover #intonature #naturelover #seasonalwork #climbamountain #iclimbmountains #alaskaAF #hikingaddict #hikertrash #aliveoutside #naturenurtures #takeahike #infinitegeography #gooutside #adventure #adventuremore
The Lynn Canal is a misnomer. Canals refer to man made water channels, but the Lynn Canal is a glacially carved fjord. In fact, it's the deepest fjord in North America and one of the deepest and longest in the world. At 90 miles long, the canal is what connects the communities in Southeast Alaska and brings commerce and economic opportunities. We recently hiked through the Tongass National Forest to Sturgill's Landing, where the rainforest meets the sea 🌲🌊🌎 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #skagway #thisisskagway #alaska #southeastalaska #guidelife #seasonalwork #seasonallife #lynncanal #rainforest #tongassnationalforest #nationalforest #intonature #naturelover #outdooradventures #hiker #hikingaddict #hikertrash #aliveoutside #naturenurtures #optoutside #rei1440project #adventuremore #travel #explore #adventure #wanderlust #infinitegeography
Sometimes we all just need to take a moment to stop, breathe, and reflect. 🌲🌎 ▪️ The wilderness is what makes sense to me in this chaotic world. It's filled with silence and stillness, yet radiates energy. The forest is alive, its pulse connected in ways seen and unseen, its air rich and fragrant. I'm drawn to the woods like a moth to the flame. It's where I'll always go for clarity, for comfort, to enrich my soul 🌲💚🌲 ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ ▪️ #alaska #southeastalaska #thisisskagway #skagway #tongassnationalforest #nationalforest #intonature #intothewoods #nature #naturelover #worldnomads #seetheworld #treehugger #naturenurtures #traveler #hiker #hikertrash #hikingaddict #hitthetrail #letstakeawalk #letsgooutside #optoutside #rei1440project #adventuremore
