For Labor Day weekend our friends, Mark and Ann, where able to get the cabin at Caine's Head, about 4 miles out along the shoreline from Lowell Point in Seward. It is an Alaska State Park area and is absolutely beautiful. The trail is actually a low tide beach walk; the lower the better to miss some very slippery wet rock crossings. On very low tides it's easier to walk in the water on the kelp and barnacles verses the worn, super slick, sloping boulders. WW2 ruins of Fort McGilvary, an outpost that defended Alaska from the Japanese, are up on Caine's Head. In my opinion there is also the world's most scenic outhouse. It is a rarely used place on the top eastern edge Caine's Head. If you leave the door open you can see across Resurrection Bay to Thumb's Cove, down a few 100 yards to the slamming surf and out the Bay to the Pacific Ocean. We hiked to the ranger cabin during the evening low with the anticipation of hiking the Alpine Trail in the morning before heading back to Seward.
