Kenai Fjords National Park
Sunday, 8/1/2010 – Drove back to Kenai Fjords NP for our hike to the Harding Ice Field. This was about a 9.0 mile round trip hike with an elevation gain of some 3,000 feet. This was one of the two most difficult hikes we did on this trip but well worth the effort. The actual ice field trail is only 3.7 miles, one way, but you have …
The Seaward's Go to Seward!
... there we hiked up to Russian River Falls to watch salmon swim up the falls to their spawning grounds. Norm tried to get a video clip of them jumping, which he managed to get a glimpse of one or two. Sharon, on the other hand, had no luck get a photo of the salmon leaping up the falls.

Seward, Alaska
... Usually such an area is a great place to see bears since they often hang around streams looking for an easy meal.
We returned to the hotel so the kids could swim. We walked to dinner at Chinooks right on the Seward harbor. The view was amazing and we saw a Halibut freshly caught that was 300 pounds and at least 5 feet in length. We were also able to see the Statendam pull out of port loaded with its new passengers on to further adventures.
