alaska–day 4

 

Our destination for later on during this rainy day was a remote cabin on a small lake; but first we detoured to take a trail leading to the Kenai River-Lower Russian Lake.  We hiked up a graveled path to a viewing platform situated above the river where we watched salmon leap and struggle-swim their way upstream.  Seagulls stood sentry duty, looking for the opportunity to snack.  We then navigated a narrow-slippery-muddy-rocky trail down to the riverside where fisherpersons and bears competed for the turning-pink fish.

Thankfully, we encountered only the “persons” part of that equation . . .
