Approaching Homer, Alaska

I was looking forward to visiting Homer since our last visit to Alaska via a cruise a couple of years ago, and was so excited to be approaching it from land.  I was especially excited that we’d be camping right out on the Homer Spit!  The next series of blog updates will be covering some of the great sights from this very cool little town –

 

The 2 images, above and below, are of a couple of mountains on the road to Homer.  The above image is of Mt. Redoubt.  It has erupted in the past, in January of 1966 and more recently in December, 1989.  The image below is of Mt Iliamna.  This mountain has not yet erupted.  Both are considered within the Rim of Fire encircling the Pacific Ocean.  They are part of the Alaska Peninsula-Aleutian Mountain Range, and are both very beautiful!

 

 

Here’s an image of the Homer Spit, set in the Kachemak Bay.  I love the mountains in the background and the low clouds.  It really sort of encompasses the town and the spit.  I thought it was a very cool welcoming sight to one of my favorite places in Alaska!

Enjoy!
