July 28 - Hike to a glacial lake


The Homer harbor
It ws a long walk to our boat.

On the boat, we all had to wear masks.
The sea was very rough.
We went to another island that had black sand.
The 5.5mile trail to the glacial lake was very easy to follow and very wooded.
There were beautiful vistas along the way.

There's the glacial lake!
You can see the glacier behind the lake in the middle of the picture.
You can see some large blue pieces of the glacier that have craved off recently and clear pieces of ice which have calved off a longer time ago.




Unfortunately it was time to go.
Back to the wooded trail.
But I could still see the glaciers.
Sometimes the trail was a log with railings!
Sometimes it was a set of steep wooden steps.
At the end of the trail, there was a set of wooden pilings that are obviously no longer used.

Here comes the boat to pick us up!
Look at the gulls attacking the back of this truck where there was a pile of fish heads and other fish leftovers!
These kiters were jumping off a cliff and then floating over the ocean! Now that's a real adventure!
