Where the Road Ends

The road ends in Homer, Alaska. Along the way, you see more gorgeous scenery. A 70,000-acre wildfire on the Kenai Peninsula made the air a little smoky and hazy, but did not diminish the beauty of the landscape.

A Russian Orthodox church in Ninilchik is evidence of the Russian presence in Alaska.

The end of the road is the end of the Homer spit and the mountains beyond.

Homer is all about halibut and halibut fishing. The road on the Homer spit is lined with charter fishing outfits, RV and camping spots, fish processing businesses, restaurants and tourist shops. The harbor is packed with boats — commercial fishing boats, charter fishing boats and personal boats.
