The World’s Tallest Totem Pole

Look carefully, and you will notice my 6’5″ tall son standing at the bottom of the Totem.

Located in Alert Bay, British Columbia, standing at an amazing 173 feet, this wooden tribal totem pole is the tallest of its kind in the world.

Featured on this totem are figures of the Sun Man, a whale, an old man, a wolf, the Thunderbird, the Kulusl, a two-headed serpent, a bear holding a salmon, and a raven holding a copper.

A truly wonderful and beautiful experience!

We have so much to learn and discover. We are never too old to wander or to wonder.
