In March of 2009, Mt. Redoubt went through an eruption phase that lasted about two months and disrupted air travel in Anchorage for short periods. This morning when we drove west into Soldatna so Donna could walk on the pathway we saw that Mt. Redoubt in the distance could be seen quite clearly with what looked like a cloud passing close to the peak.
While Donna walked I went into the Visitor Center to buy a Soldatna t-shirt for myself. In the shop, the volunteer said that the mountain was steaming out of the vents. She made it sound like a big deal.
Later, around 8:30 PM we made our way over to a place in Kenai near the coast where we could see the full mountain across Cook Inlet. The distance is about 50 miles.
