Climbing Baldy

Well, she complained the whole way up, but in the end Gabie was the first one up the mountain when she, Tara and I climbed Baldy! There was a lot of mud due to recent rains, which made the climb tricky at times, but we made it to the top. Afterwards we went to Jitters, covered with mud, to enjoy a celebratory beverage! Here's a shot of Gabie and I coming down the mountain with the town of Eagle River in the distance.Gabie at the top of the mountain, enjoying a break before heading back down. The top was completely enveloped in clouds.Gabie showing her muddy sleeves...our back sides were considerably more dirty. One great thing about Alaska - one can go into a coffee shop, covered in mud, and others won't give you a second glance!
When we climbed Baldy, we were looking down on Fire Lake; the day after we were biking by Fire Lake, looking up at Mt. Baldy (the highest peak, on the right)! We definitely kept active on our Alaska trip.
