The hiking has begun.....

Today we were driving back from a hike along the shore and we actually drove through a snow storm....

The other day we hiked a trail that would take us up the west side of Mendenhall Glacier.


On the way up we came across just a little wildlife....


a grouse....


a porcupine....


and a mountain goat.

It is amazing when you are hiking above the animals that are supposed to be at the top of  the mountains.  The thing that is tough to get your brain wrapped around is the perspective.


When you look at the top image of the glacier and the image just above with Nugget waterfall, it is hard to tell the actual size of what you are looking at.  That is what we will discuss tomorrow...
