North Ram River
Adventure Kiska Fire Tower Trail
The
gang wanted to see what the Kiska Fire Tower was all about, so
Steve and I led the way back up the forestry trails.
|
Though
the trails were certainly not very difficult, they did have
several very off-camber spots that were pretty tricky.
|
These
trails are used for foresting and oil prospecting, so any capable
4x4 can make it up easily. The views and the ride, though, are
worth the trip.
|
In
this spot, it got very off-camber. Steve and I slid into this
broken tree and scraped the side of the TJ pretty good. Then, Mike
followed and almost sardine canned his, too. See highlighted area.
|
As
we approached the fire tower the temperature began dropping fast
as a storm headed our way.

Ok,
just to prove that I was there, here's me sitting on the Kiska Tower
steps. It was so cold that my eyes were watering and glazing over as I
tried to shoot photos. I could barely keep focused. Thanks again for
the coat, Steve!
After we finished admiring the view
we headed back to camp to pack up and head back to Edmonton. The trip
was wonderful and so was everyone in the group. It was truly and trip
I'll never forget. Thanks guys!
