We were able to get out this weekend for some hiking, which we haven't done in a while. On Saturday we journeyed over to the Wildlife Refuge. It was extremely windy and we saw no animals. It could be that they were hunkered down, out of the wind. On Sunday we spent the day out at Skilak Lake hiking the Skilak Lookout Trail. We have done this trail before, but never during the winter. It was quite the hike up, trudging through the snow, but the view was worth it. The sky was extremely clear, allowing us to take in beautiful views of the Kenai Range to the east and the Aleutian Range to the west (This is the range we see from our house, just across the bay. It includes the three volcanoes, Redoubt, Illiamna, and Spurr). The trip back to the vehicle was quite fun as it was mainly down hill, allowing for some luges on the seats of our pants. No animal sightings here either, but a lot of moose scat and tracks.
