Kodiak is a beautiful island. After a few days of clouds, we awoke to sunny skies and temps in the mid 60s. Perfect hiking weather, so we tackled Barometer Mountain. Not a hike for those with any fear of heights. They don't believe in switchbacks here and their trails are straight up up up, sometimes coming pretty close to steep drop offs. Tom is definitely part mountain goat, but I kept up, albeit with some encouragement in spots. The view from the top was, of course, beautiful - mountains and water as far as the eye could see.
I would definitely come back to Kodiak. There are more fish for Tom to catch, sea kayaking to be done and many more peaks to climb. And it wouldn't be the same without our good friends Karen and Robin. Top notch for sure.
See you in Denver! I'm ready for some hot sun. :)

Also from the summit. You can see the memorial cross (center) for a hiker who fell and died. Very sad.
