Skyline Trail, Alaska, United States
5.0 (2 reviews) Spent More than 3 hours Ranking #4 in Cooper Landing Hiking Trails
Tough but fun
We have hiked Skyline trail a couple times as a family. We had a 2yo and 4yo with us. We live in the area and we do alot of hiking as a family. We made a deal with our 4yo if she hiked up I would carry her down in the hiking backpack, and my wife "wore" our 2yo up and back. The trail is on the harder side but we stopped often. The pay off at the top really is worth the effort. You can see the mountains to the front and left of you and the "flats" out towards the right. Our 4yo fulfilled her side of the deal and hiked all the way up, and I fulfilled mine (won't make that deal again) Haha. Good hike, could see it being a little extra difficult if trial is wet.

Surprise Gem on the Kenai Peninsula
Strenuous vertical hike but many beautiful places to stop and rest on the way. Its so worth the 2000 ft, 1 1/2 mile hike up to overlook the lake. Almost everyone can hike this trail, some run up the mountain and back, others like me, hike slowly and take rest stops. Bring lots of water and wear good shoes for the vertical hike back down. Perfect hike for a nice cool day. The top view overlooking the Peninsula is so worth the climb!
