7/15
Started back along the Seward Hwy ( Rt 9). Stopped at Exit Glacier National Park and hiked to the glacier, a relatively easy climb with some really nice scenery. The glacier, which is one of many arms of the Harding Icefield, has receded more than a half mile since 1900.Stopped at Moose Pass to see it’s reconstructed Pelton waterwheel, which extracts almost all the momentum of the flowing water. The town patriarch, Frank Roycroft, built a Pelton wheel hydroelectric plant, in 1928, which supplied the town with electricity until 1956 . Back to the highway and on to the Sterling Hwy Rt 1 towards Soldotna. Camped at US Forest Service Cooper Creek campground, a pretty little park with only 7 sites right on the Kenai river.
