Mount Redoubt, 10,200 feet, showed up from under the clouds tonight right at sunset across Cook Inlet from us. This volcano erupted last spring so we'll see if we get any surprises this season. I think we're about 50 miles away. You can see it makes its own weather. We have three other volcanoes visible from here on a good day: Mount Spurr way up to the north to the west of Anchorage, Mount Illiamna with its seven sub-peak right across from us, and Mount Augustine down past Homer sitting on its own little island. We have the trailer set up so we can watch the light change on Mount Redoubt from our "living room".
