...skiing at Trail River Campground

THE ROUTE:  Trail River CG road to Trail River CG.
TERRAIN:  Groomed trail the entire distance.
DISTANCE:  3 miles RT

The Hufford girls pose at the sign near the entrance to Trail River Campground.  The snow was probably 5-6 feet deep on the level.

Mrs. Huffy skis the Trail River Campground groomed trails.

Emily turns and looks back as she skis the trail.

We stopped for a picnic on the edge of Kenai Lake.  It was great to eat Girl Scout cookies and apples in the sunshine.

Laura carried Emily's skis on her backpack when Emily decided to finish the trip on foot.


We have been talking about skiing the trails at Trail River Campground for most of the winter.  They are maintained by the Seward Nordic Ski Club and are kept in prime condition.  So, we loaded the truck this morning stopping at Louie's for breakfast before making the drive to Moose Pass and on to the campground.  When we arrived we had the entire place to ourselves for most of the morning as we enjoyed skiing, taking photos and videos, and a picnic at the edge of Kenai Lake.  Other skiers showed up as the afternoon progressed and we visited with some of them as we cruised around the campground loops.  After soaking up the sun we made our way back to the truck happy that we had been...skiing at Trail River Campground.
