This afternoon we went back over to the Kenai Wildlife Refuge. We got a much better idea of the animals you see up here in the “last frontier.”
(Thankfully they are all hibernating now!)
(Check out the size of that bear paw!)
(The local swans are beautiful...I hope I get to see a live one!)
We then traversed over to the Cooke Inlet beach access (about 15 min away from the city of Kenai). It was beautiful- the beach was completely covered in ice up within 10 feet of the water’s edge. I think the sand was actually a good mix (if not almost all) volcanic ash. It was so smooth and dark. One of my co-workers explained that the Redoubt volcano exploded 2 years ago so that would definitely explain the sand. I’m willing to bet that we could see the whale migrations in from this view.
