Day 28 - Skyline Trail

Redoubt Volcano from Skyline Ridge
The first day of work and our superintendent has us drive over to Eastern Kenai for an in-service. Like Bird Ridge, Skyline is a perfect, steep but shorter trail that offers great views in a head clearing manner. After the training and a bit of Lowe's shopping, Bob and I headed up the muddy, slick by-way. Actually the mud wasn't too much of a problem until we came down. The best technique is to grab a bush and ease down but it sure is doing a number on the trail vegetation. We discovered that we aren't the only ones that come up in the evening after work - several other couples were doing the same. The smart ones had walking poles. We turned around before too long but what a great view.
