It's a whole new world back there where the red rock emerges!
We explored an old shaft where chrome ore was mined in the '40- '50's.
The new 4-wheeler got initiated on the "trails"!
The boys scrambled DOWN a gully to jade deposits in the creek...
... and crawled UP the cliffs on mountain goat trails to the peak!
Views of Kachemak Bay and the Kenai Peninsula behind them.
The other side of the mountain - the Gulf of Alaska and the Chugach Islands.
The amazing distinction of red rock and green foliage!
Clear, cold, water was so pure and refreshing.
Salmon berries along the road home. Similar to raspberries, but larger, lighter in color, and not quite as sweet - a yummy treat! We brought some home to put in our smoothies.
Sunset at 10 p.m. A truly beautiful adventure.
