A walk along the beach to watch the sunset across Cook Inlet at 11pm is an unforgettable experience! However summer is not the only season to enjoy here. Grouse and moose hunting occupy fall months, as does silver salmon and steelhead fishing. Snowmachining, cross-country skiing, sledding, skating, ice fishing and dog sledding are popular pastimes during the clear, sunny winter days. Some businesses stay open all year round and the real "warmth" of the residents takes the chill out of the weather!
Look to the south across Cook Inlet and see the distinctive cone of St. Augustine, one of the active volcanoes of the Alaska range. To the north of it is Mt. Iliamna, showing a wisp of smoke at times; farther north is Mt. Redoubt, which erupted as recently as 1989. To the far north is Mt. Spurr, which roared to life several times in 1992. They're beautiful to see, but not dangerous as they're at least 40 miles away!
Whales, seals and sea otters are seen in our waters. Bird watchers will delight in the many species to be seen here. Bald eagles abound and are frequently seen soaring near the bluff. Moose frequent the area all year.
Happy Thanksgiving!!
