Kalifornsky Beach

We reached Cook Inlet and walked along Kalifornsky Beach at low tide to chat with the many fishermen setting nets and standing on the edge of a river with large hand held circular nets waiting for the salmon to unwittingly swim into their clutches with the coming of the tide.

While waiting for high tide, we drove to Tustumena Lake to hike and swim in the glacier water river exiting the lake.The cloudy pale green water was colder then jumping in a tub of ice cubes! Upon arriving back to the beach the visible tide (at least 30 ft.) difference was phenomenal.
