Williwaw Forest Service Campground

Portage, Alaska
Seward Highway

Overheard in Palmer - "You know you're a redneck when you use the O in the STOP sign to sight your rifle scope." Really all the signs seem to be shot up. I asked a lady about this and she replied, "the winters are long honey."

All along the Seward Highway into the Kenai Peninsula are Forest Service campgrounds, part of the Chugach National Forest. Don’t worry about reservations (get that California mentality of our your mind) and each site is stunning. Waterfalls are abundant and line the mountain sides on both sides of the highway. So green and so much water. Oh is it ever going to be a shock coming home in August to dry and very brown foothills.

Boy sometimes we are pretty lucky people. Today was that day. This campground rocks! Never have we been in such an amazing campground that is solely FS! From our site you can see waterfalls, the Middle Glacier (one of 6 glaciers in the Portage Valley. We hiked all around the Trail of Blue Ice yesterday and this morning before leaving for Soldatna, we hiked to the base of the Byron Glacier. Pretty cool.

All along the Seward Highway and turning west on the Sterling Highway into the Kenai Peninsula are Forest Service campgrounds, part of the Chugach National Forest. Don’t worry about reservations (get that California mentality of our your mind) and each site is stunning. Waterfalls are abundant and line the mountain sides on both sides of the highway. So green and so much water. Oh is it ever going to be a shock coming home in August to dry and very brown foothills.

Byron Glacier

We are settled in at Soldatna. Fishing nirvana right here along the Kenai River. Quite a pretty drive in seeing all the fly fishermen standing alongside and in the river fishing Salmon. The campground we are at is nice enough for being right in Soldatna. It will do for our fishing adventures while we are here. J and B put up their cocktail tent "mosquito tent" and we have a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle ready to go! We'll see how we do on that. Don't need any lights since it never gets dark.
