Skilak Lake Loop Road

Today we packed a picnic lunch and headed north up the Sterling Highway to the Skilak Lake Loop Road. it was a great 20 mile tour on a very good dirt road with decent views of both the lake and the Kenai Range. Some big fish come out of this lake. Don't believe me? Check it out.

A bonus was finding the Hidden Lake Campground, a neat place tucked into the tree. Later, Joyce and I took a short hike down to the Kenai River just below Jim's Landing and had fun seeing salmon jumping as they worked their way up the Kenai River. There was enough bear scat on the trail to keep us talking with our "bear voices" as we went to and fro. No mosquitoes this year!
