Hello,
This blog will contain daily posts from the students during our time in Alaska. We will be arriving in Homer, AK May 10th and departing Seward, AK on May 23rd.
We were a group of lumberjacks today! Well kind of.. we traveled back up to the Kenai area and made our way to the western entrance of the Swan Lake canoe trails. We were split up into two separate groups and we divided and conquered different trails that connect the lakes in this neat trail. Our group traveled through the lakes and trails ending at the trail between Contact and Martin Lake. Each of these trails were cleared to become more easily accessible to those who want to explore the Swan Lake Trail. We couldn’t use power tools since we were located in a Federally owned Wilderness State Park (Kenai National Wildlife Refuge). Some tools we used include loppers, zubats, katanas and a 2 man saw! An image of the map of the Swan Lake Trails are pictured below. Most people hike through the entire trail in a little under a week. They will bring tents and other items that allow them to camp out in different areas throughout. Jenna and Kennedi
