| Sunseting across Cook's Inlet near Mt. Redoubt |
After we finished hiking the trail to the Ice Fields we drove north aways and found a nice campsite in a National forest cg. The next day we took the Sterling road across to Soldotna and resupplied at Fred Myers store. We then drove south to Ninilchik View Campground a little over a half an hour north of Homer. It is a small campground with a nice bluff view overlooking Cook Inlet.
Mount Redoubt is an active volcano and you can see steam plumes rising from the mountain

The next morning we drove on down to Homer. We wanted to drive the east road out of Homer. It runs along the top of the mountain range where the Kilcher family homestead is located. (Alaska the Last Frontier show on Discovery channel) We drove out 20 miles or so on a newly blacktopped road. There area was actually quite populated with many nice newer homes. The weather was becoming rainy so we headed back north. We found a nice campsite up about 36 miles north of Kenai at Captain Cook SRA. We ended up spending 3 nights there and enjoyed some nice hikes on the beach. It offered nice views across Cook Inlet. We were surprised by number of off oil platforms we could see out in the inlet.
