We can hike up an old road (circa 1950) to a pair of lakes above Port Bailey cannery.

Hiking

There are a few trails in the general vicinity of Alderwood Retreat. The closest one is an animal trail that runs west along the bluff from the lodge to a nearby beach. This is an easy hike through an untouched forest of Sitka Spruce.

This pile of bear scat makes it obvious we're not the only ones using these trails!

Another moderate hike takes us up an old road to a lake where Hunter and one brave young man braved the elements and took a very brief dip before the fog rolled in and we headed home.

Only a teenager would brave these cold waters! And Hunger, of course!

For those who'd like a more strenuous climb, the face of Kupreanoff presents quite a challenge. A larger lake is accessible from the lagoon in the head of Dry Spruce Bay, but requires a full day to hike in and back out again. One way or another, those who want to experience Kodiak from the perspective of their waffle-stompers will be completely satisfied...just remember to bring your bug spray!

Thank you for sharing your special lives with us.


Kupreanoff is 2445 vertical feet of solid granite!


The camaraderie is great—not to mention the fishing.


We can hike World War II era roads or game trails, your choice!
