McArthur Mt. Trip Part 1





Jordan and I have been planning a good spring trip across the inlet for a bit and this Friday we both had the time off to make it happen. We had a great couple days of weather, some of the best yet this year. I drew our route on google earth and then zoomed out and gave you a wider view of the area. Our trip started at Soldotna airport where we loaded up most of our gear in my plane and the rest in mikes plane. We stopped by mikes cabin on our way to our final destination, McArthur mountain, at the head of the McArthur river. I first landed at this location with Gregg M. this past summer. The summer landing is a little tighter with a small sand bar to land on, during the winter it all fills in nicely to make a perfect platform with a large area to accommodate wide ski turns and longer takeoff's in deep snow. After setting down, mike dumped out the gear he brought over and headed for home.
