Skyline Trail (October 31, 2009)





Today we hiked the infamous Skyline Trail. Infamous to the Kenai Peninsula anyways. Skyline Trail is a 1 mile hike to the top of a mountain. Although 1 mile may not sound so bad, we had a 1,800 feet gain within that 1 mile. Let's just say it was more of a climb than a hike. In the first picture, you can see the mountain we hiked to in the background, it is the one in the middle. Once above tree line, we were hiking in snow. Although there was snow on the beginning half of the trail, the top half was definitely more abundant. The next three pictures are at the top of the trail. Once you reach the top, there is an orange tool box with a journal inside for those who make it to sign. Not only did we get to sign, but we took in a stunning view which is not visible by road.
