We woke to a beautiful day – sunny and blue sky. Hope, AK is another small community about an hour away. It is right along the ocean and we thought we’d like to explore it.
Turned out, the community is really small, but we found a back road and drove about 15 miles up to an alpine view.
Yesterday when we were out, we did buy a canister of bear spray so we can feel a bit better about hiking in areas where bears might be around. We’ve been in bear country before, and had never felt the need, but with people’s reactions (including the clerk where we bought the spray) to the black bears this year, we weren’t feeling comfortable without it. Hopefully we’ll never need it!
Next up, a ride on the tram up Alyeska Mountain….
