Kenai National Wildlife Refuge Best of IgoUgo

Attraction | "Skyline Hike"

Quote:
My cousin, my sister, some friends and I climbed Skyline together. It took us about 2hr. and 15min. It is a beautiful hike. There is a stream about 15min. up that makes a nice break, it's fun to splash yourself and cool down, and when you are about halfway up, you can see the lake beneath you and almost all the way to Sterling.

Russian River Best of IgoUgo

Attraction

Quote:
A few friends and I hiked Russian River. It is a pretty easy hike but really fun!! About half of us rode bikes which was fun to. It took us about 45 min. to get to the river. 30 on bikes. At the top, you can see the river from above and all the salmon. You can even sometimes see bears. There is a boardwalk where you can look down on the river and eat a picnic. It was lots of fun.
