    • Uganik Bay is an area that is inhabited by commercial fisherman. It is a tough area to get to. You would have to fly or take a boat. There aren't any hotels so you would either camp or make a local friend.

    • Fossil Beach is at the very end of the road on Kodiak Island. There you can dig around in the cliffs and find fossils. Most clam shells and snails but it is very interesting!

    • Climbing Mt Barometer on a clear day can be an Awesome experience! It is not Mt McKinley by any stretch of the imagination but it is a great hike. There are a couple of spots near the top that are very steep. But if you are in generally decent shape you can make it. I took my 12 year old son up this summer. You can find the trail head just past the airport light field on the right side of the road.

    • While your hiking or driving around Kodiak watch for Wild Animals. This fox was very friendly. But be careful they are wild animals.

    • Kodiak Island - Portage Area on the Karluk River

  • by herzog63

    • Every couple of years or so I will plan a trip to the Portage on the Karluk River. I fly to Larsen Bay via the Mail plane and then get a ride around to the head of the bay and Hike in the rest of the way. It is a beautiful area and the trail is very easy to follow. And the fishing can be fantastic but one year the fishing wasn't that good as there was lots of rain the river was very high and fast!! Which made it impossible to cross the river!! There are usually a lot of spots to cross the river safely but not that year!!
