The view from up north


Overlooking Bechevin Bay and the Bering Sea. Traders Cove is to the right or east.





Back south, a view of Isanotski Strait, Ikatan Peninsula and then the Pacific Ocean.










This is a hike we did over a month ago. When we got up to the peak we could see out to the Bering Sea and down to Bechevin Bay and east to Traders Cove (a favorite bird watching spot). An amazing view that lasted about 2 minutes before an intense cloud of warm fog overcame us. That too was pretty wonderful to see (and feel) but eliminated all chances of Bob getting a full shot of the view. The fog came in waves leaving a hazy view every few minutes. By the time we headed down off the mountain the fog was even thicker and the wind had picked up, practically blowing us all the way home.
