Day 7 - Juneau Lake Cabin via Ressurection Trail

Juneau Lake View

"Kids Don't Float"  
Today was another awesome backpack trip along the Resurrection Trail from Cooper Landing towards Hope. We used Beans Trail which cuts-off a few miles of switchbacks and ties into Resurrection Trail just above Juneau Falls. This is one of my favorite sections along the whole 70+ mile length because it is generally through aspen forest and over tundra in open areas with beautiful views of the mountains. The hiking is easy with gentle ups and lots of flat. There are several roaring creek crossings, all with wooden bridges. It's an excellent place to catch a view of a moose within a 30 year old experimental moose re-vegetation area. The Forest Service should put a little sign up posting the results. The weather was cloudy - a bit of showers but not rain thank goodness. The whole family went along as well as Tarra Swanson. It was our first complete family outing of the summer!

  1. Looking good girls! Ally should keep that vest on for her next meet so the rest of the swimmers have a chance. Catie
