Trip to Juneau, Alaska (Part 4)
Yesterday was a very cloudy, rainy day! So we didn't get to do very much. What we did do, is ride around exploring as much as we could. We did find a few trails and tried to get out and hike them, but the mosquito's were just horrible.
But today was MUCH better! There was still some clouds hanging around to start out with, but it was warmer, so that made it better. The only problem I had today was getting Taylor up and out of the house. But once we got out there, she was ready to go.
We went back to Eagle Breach and did a bit of looking and walking around. But it just wasn't cutting it for us. We wanted more! this was just to tame for the "Adventure Girls"! So we left there and headed back toward town. doing a little of "where does this road go" again, I found a wonderful trail beside a creek. we found some very interesting things just off the main trail.
When we left the SUV, I don't think we would be out on the trail very long, so I didn't take the backpack with the water. Not far down the main trail Taylor said that she was thirsty. It was to far to go back for just the water, but she needed something to drink. SO, since the water was so clean and clear, I taught my niece how to drink from a stream! At first she was not to hip to it. But once I showed her how to do it and drank some myself, she was all for it. then she didn't want to quit. We had to stop 3 times for her to get a drink. I do have to admit, the water did taste real good!
We hiked the trail a while longer and really enjoyed it.
After we left this trail, we headed back to town. but the road I took led us where we could get a distant view of the Mendanhall Glacier and the river.
All in all, even though we got a late start, it was a great day, full of adventure and exploring!
