Day 1 - Ptarmigan Lake



Day 1 and we hiked to PtarmiganLake; a gorgeous, turquoise blue beauty nestled in the high Chugach Mountains. The trail is about 4 miles one-way and can be a loop trail coming back via Fall's Creek or you can keep going on the edge of the lake another 4 miles towards Paradise Valley. We stopped at the lake and came back down. Still a good trail with tree roots and mucky dirt following Ptarmigan Creek.
Thirteen people came along for this first hike journey. The weather was unexpectedly
cooperative with sunshine occasionally breaking through the high clouds but no rain. The teen boys actually jumped in the water while the rest of us grabbed a snack and talked.
