Otter Slide

When I first passed by, I noticed the trail left by an otter sliding down towards the beach, but I did not know what it was. It was only later, after I had followed what were clearly otter tracks from the shoreline up through the woods towards the middle of the island and back down to shore, that I realized what I had seen. The tracks on the right are mine.

Location: Piper Island, near Baranof Island, Alaska
