Detour to Hope

Part III ... At one point, we considered driving all the way to Seward, but then decided it was too long of a drive. So, when we saw the junction for Hope, a small community on the Kenai Peninsula, we decided to check it out.

Unfortunately, the community had not quite awakened from its winter slumber, so we made do with a quick wander down to the river before getting back on the road. Was the 30-mile R/T detour worth it? I’d say that no, it wasn’t ... at least not today.

This side trip still yielded some beautiful views, and we found a lovely view spot for lunch ... which we ate standing since any picnic tables that might be at that rec area were still under several feet of snow.もっと詳しく
