This aptly named island gets a lot of beating from the harsh weather and raw force of nature present in the Gulf of Alaska. During the years surrounding World War II this little island was the home of Fort Bulkley a fortified outpost that hosted US soldiers who kept watch for potential invaders coming in from the Pacific ocean.

Your hike will begin from the dock and follow a gentle path to the gulf-facing side of the island where the fort is located.
