Old Womens Mountain Trail

Old Womens Mountain hike provides great views of Chiniak Bay, the Coast Guard base and Kodiak city and harbor. The surrounding mountain scenery is breathtaking. About 1/2 mile south of the airport road, take a right turn on the paved road up to "Aviation Hill." Turn left at the entrance to the subdivision and park at the end of the road behind the Coast Guard Loran building. You will find the trailhead at the far end of the parking lot. An old, washed out road leads up to the ridge. At the far end of the ridge you will see a small lake down and to the right. This is a popular swimming hole in summer.
